HILLMORTON BARBY LANE LOOP | Approx 4.5 MILES | EASY | WARWICKSHIRE

🥾 ABOUT THE WALK 🥾

Join Our Iconic Rugby Walk – Explore History, Art, and Nature!

Discover the charm of Rugby on this scenic 4.5-mile walk, perfect for any time of the year. We’ll pass through the stunning Rugby School buildings, take on the descent down Dunchurch Road Hill, and meander along a quieter path towards Barby Lane, with some sections under starlit skies (bring a torch!). Enjoy the gentle inclines as we head up towards Ashlawn Estate and take in the artistic graffiti along the historic Great Central Way railway. Finally, we’ll wrap up with a stroll through Whitehall Park—don’t miss the chance to play a tune on the park’s quirky xylophone!

It’s a great way to stay active, meet like-minded people, and explore Rugby’s hidden gems. Dogs are welcome, so bring your furry friends along for the adventure!

Why you should join:

• 🐾 Dog-friendly (social pups welcome!)
• 👋 The first two walks are FREE.
• 🍬 Free sweets at the halfway point!
• 😁 Friendly group—a great way to meet people and dogs
• 🌳 Scenic mix of towpaths, roads, and fields
