Ashow Lane, or Rocky Lane, is a very old road that used to run from Glasshouse Lane in Kenilworth down to the small village of Ashow on the banks of the Avon. I can remember walking and cycling down that lane many times in the 1960's when I was a boy. The lane was cut in half when the Kenilworth by-pass was opened in 1974 and was no longer passable to motor traffic. A foot bridge was built over the new road. Since then the greenery has encroached on the tarmac narrowing it considerably, but it is still well used for walking. This is the view from the Glasshouse lane junction.
