There is a large network of footpaths & bridleways accessible from the cottage.
All walkers can be accommodated from serious hikes to relaxing rambles barely seeing another sole all day if desired.
Ordnance Survey maps are available to borrow from the cottage.
If biking is your thing, The Green Lane near Stratford upon Avon is an especially designated safe car free cycle route.
