Royal Leamington Spa is a stylish and elegant town in the heart of South Warwickshire. Once renowned for its health-restoring springs, there are still strong and abiding images of that bygone age. Gorgeous Gardens where graceful ladies and their partners took a promenade amongst the lakes and flowers. The sumptuous Royal Pump Room, white Georgian houses with metal verandahs, a main street which will remind you of Bath Spa, rippling rivers, and an imposing Town Hall with a statue of Queen Victoria outside looking benevolently over all who pass her steely stare.

2. Jephson Gardens to Royal Pump Rooms - 1 mile / 1.6 kms
From the heart of Jephson Gardens you’ll descend to the river, past tropical glasshouses, into the Old Town with its parish church as large as a cathedral. Now it’s out past a former ‘palais de danse’, back over the river to the Pump Room Gardens where bands occasionally play. Pass more elegant Regency homes before returning to the Gardens alongside the celebrated Royal Pump Rooms and the charming River Leam.
