Draycote Water Perimeter Route
A nice route around the perimeter of this Severn Trent reservoir. Start and end at the car park - there are charges, but not unreasonable.
A small detour brings you to the trig-point on Hensborough Hill (see map).
The route is suitable for walking or cycling.
There are a couple of stretches where there is a steep climb / descent, so it might not be suitable for those with accessibility needs; however the straight dog-legged section of path to the east of the reservoir runs along a dam wall with a wide footpath and absolutely no gradient.
There's also a small cafe in the visitors hub -check their website for opening times of both the park & visitor hub.
Dogs are not allowed on the circular Reservoir Trail but can use the Country Park and Hensborough Trail.
