Bluebells in a patch of woodland by Twycross Walk, Woodloes Park, Warwick
The wood is a maze of informal paths – too many. There is a scout hut at the north end. Some flats can be made out through the trees.

Cape Top Lock No 25, Grand Union Canal
The boatman seen leaving his boat here is probably making his way to the lockside pub, the 'Cape of Good Hope', to enjoy a pint before the 4 hours or so of hard work awaiting him as he tackles the 21 wide locks of the Hatton flight.

Warwick canal [4]
Seen from the towpath is the bottom gate of Warwick Top Lock. The umbrellas belong to The Cape of Good Hope public house. The towpath is part of two long distance footpaths - The Grand Union Canal Walk and Shakespeare's Avon Way.
A market town and county town of Warwickshire, Warwick lies on the River Avon, 11 miles (18 kilometres) south of Coventry. There is evidence of unbroken habitation from the 6th century AD with signs of Neolithic and Roman activity before that date. It was a Saxon burh in the 9th century and Warwick Castle was built during the Norman Conquest. Much of the town was destroyed in The Great Fire of Warwick in 1694. Warwick Racecourse is located just west of the town centre. The Grand Union Canal passes through the town and the restored Saltisford Canal Arm is close to the town centre.

Cape Top Lock, Grand Union Canal, north Warwick
On the public holiday after New Year we emerged here after walking down a very informal footpath by St John's Brook, starting here:

Public open space by Twycross Walk, Woodloes Park, north Warwick
Twycross Walk houses and flats are offstage left. Ahead and offstage right is the Wedgnock industrial estate. Warwick Scouts still have their hut in the little wood, left. Although blank white on the map, clumps of vegetation create pleasant spaces, frame inviting views.

Cape Top Lock, Grand Union Canal
Unusually, the top gate of this lock has two handrails. This is to allow an easy crossing from the towpath to the Cape of Good Hope pub on the opposite bank. Narrowboat 'Dreamer' is moored outside.
