Warwick Loop – Garden Shed Café Stop

46 km359 m climb
Start: Warwick

This is an enjoyable road-focused loop with a short greenway section, making it a good option for riders looking for a mix of quiet lanes, gentle countryside and a more relaxed traffic-free start or finish. The route is well suited to a café ride, with the route passing at least four excellent cafes. Expect a pleasant balance of village lanes, open stretches and easy-rolling sections. The greenway adds a nice change of pace, but the end of the greenway can become quite waterlogged in wet weather and may be tricky on a road bike, especially on narrower tyres. The rest of the route, however, is on road, so it remains a good choice for road bikes in normal conditions. Overall, this is a relaxed and accessible cycling route, ideal for riders wanting a scenic spin with a café stop rather than a hard training ride.

Recommended café: The Garden Shed Café
