Miniature Railway at Ryton Pools
Between April and the end of September, you can take a ride on the Miniature Railway on Sundays between 1 pm and 4 pm. The journey costs just £1 per passenger and lasts around 6 minutes.

The Visitor Centre is located next to the main car park and is open every day. A selection of gifts, walking and cycling leaflets, books and toys can be found in the gift shop.

Orienteering
Come and try orienteering in the country parks, run or walk around using a large scale specially drawn map. All ages 5 – 85 are welcome, especially families. Bring a compass if you have one.

Cycling at Ryton Pools
There are miles of surfaced paths around the site which cyclists are permitted to use provided they proceed with caution and are aware that others may also be using the Park. A 16 mile Mountain Bike Trail starts from Ryton Pools Country Park. It uses public roads and bridleways, so the surface may be rough and muddy.

Cycle Hire
Cycle hire is available weekends and Warwickshire school holidays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m, (weather permitting).
