Summary
The Warwickshire Centenary Way was devised to celebrate one hundred years of Warwickshire County Council. From its beginning in Kingsbury Water Park, it heads on a meandering course initially south, passing through the Tame Valley, Atherstone Ridge, and the George Eliot country around Nuneaton, before continuing east of Coventry to Kenilworth, Warwick, and Royal Leamington Spa. From there, it heads toward the Burton Dassett Hills, Edge Hill, Shipston-on-Stour, and the Ilmington Downs, ending in Upper Quinton at an intersection point with the Heart of England Way.
