Travelling by train is one of the greenest ways to travel, especially when combined with walking and wheeling, cycling and taking the bus.
We want to encourage more people to take greener, healthier journeys by using our Rail Trails to access the beautiful walks we have in our area. 36 walks exploring the towns and countryside, with a variety of lengths to suit all.
Pick up one of our leaflets at the Visit Warwickshire Stall at @KenilworthShow this weekend or find all the trails on our website heartcommunityrail.org.uk/ra…!
