Rather enjoyed today's ramble. Like all good walks, it starts at a pub for post walk refreshment. I tackle the route anti clockwise through Meriden Shafts Woods up to the nothing there hamlet of Kinwalsey and back down through typical Warwickshire agricultural landscapes. The reason its so enjoyable - duckboards through the worst of the mud and a riot of colour. Bluebells in the Woodland and Rapeseed in the fields.

No time at all and I am cleaning myself up to visit the Queens Head.

It's located on a superfluous road that's been superceded by the B4102. It even has the grace to call itself the "Old Road". I initially feared that it may have befallen a similar fate to those American towns that get lost when the new highways are built but its packed solid.
The reason? Toasties for less than £3 and hand-pull Bass.
