Stunning little pond on Penn Common with a charming pub nearby. A great place to stop for a break, or just to enjoy the view as you ride past. Especially beautiful as the sun is going down.

This here is one of the entrances to the beautiful Penn Wood. It's a truly spectacular bit of woodland: dense, green, with lovely paths to run on. Some trees are ancient: one, thought to be the oldest in the wood, is the Holey Oak (there is a hole in the trunk...), and the other is the Penn Pollard, memorable for its very open crown. You're in for a treat here!

The duck pond in Coleshill is a great place to stop at for a break on your walk. It's very picturesque, with a variety of lovely trees (including willows) overlooking it, and there is plenty of grass to sit on.
