The good thing about Draycote Water is that it's a convenient five miles around and a good road surface all the way, so ordinary footwear is fine. It can be cold and windy, and at the weekends crowded, but still a simple, well-defined walk. There's even a café.
I parked at the edge of Dunchurch (SP481709) and walked past the
alpaca farm. A steep slope down to the reservoir gave the walk added interest at the beginning and end. 5.8 miles.

... and a cloudscape.
