About this Event
🥾 ABOUT THE WALK 🥾
This circular walk starts out at the meeting point, The walk is a nice casual walk around the outskirts of Rugby Town as we walk on the Viaduct paths that lead us down to part of the Oxford canal and around Newbold Quarry. The walk also incorporates some of the Nature Reserve which is beautiful.
The Midland Counties Railway viaduct (known locally as the Eleven Arches Viaduct) is a disused railway viaduct at Rugby, which crosses over both the A426 Rugby to Leicester Road, and the River Avon to the north of Rugby town centre. The viaduct is approximately 700 feet (210 metres) long, and consists of eleven elliptical arches, elevating 40 feet (12 m) above the valley floor.
