WALKING
Walking is one of the cheapest, easiest, and simplest forms of transport, which is boosted by there being a range of shops and services accessible within a short walk from Warwick Cannon Park.
It also offers the greatest potential to replace short car and public transport trips, particularly those under a 2-kilometre distance.
Warwick Cannon Park links directly to the pedestrian network of Coventry, with pavements provided in all directions from the site, which allows you to walk easily and safely to the surrounding local facilities.
