The Stratford Greenway

Starting from our Railway Carriage at Seven Meadows Road, The Stratford Greenway is a 5 mile, disused railway line which Warwickshire County Council in partnership with Sustrans have transformed into a traffic free foot/cycle path. Starting at the cycle centre at Seven Meadows Car Park on the West side of town and heading out along the river, it travels along the River Avon and the Racecourse towards the nearby villages of Long Marston and Welford on Avon.

The address is: Stratford Greenway Carpark, Seven Meadows Road, Stratford upon Avon, CV37 6GR.

The route is part of  Sustrans National Cycle Network Route5 and as well as the cycle centre the Carriages5344 Cafe are ideally placed as a stopping point both at the start of the route and halfway down at MIlcote crossing.

At the end of the Greenway there are a number of cycle Routes you can take. Return along the Greenway which is great for young families or people regaining their cycling confidence. There are also number of cycling routes from the end of the Greenway which also have some great pubs to stop by for a quick rest or a long lunch. We can provide maps and a number of the routes are signposted.

Just call to reserve your bikes to pick them up from the Carriage. You can also choose to stop and fill up before you leave or once you get back from the Carriage Cafe!

We also now have a Pashley Tricycle for hire. The Greenway is ideal for people who would like to ride but require a tricycle. It is straight and flat so easy to ride. We also provide keys to the gates so the Tricycle can get through. Call us for details of how to hire
