Areas of Rugby

Bourton-on-Dunsmore

While Bourton-on-Dunsmore might not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Draycote Water Country Park and Coventry Stadium.

Plastic palm tree. This is one of a pair of plastic palm trees that stand by the entrance to the car park at the former Goji Chinese restaurant - although they may date back to the days when the building was 'Crazy Daisy's' - a night club. Presumably they were intended to give a hint of the orient, or to convince clubbers they were in Ibiza. Either way they are unbelievably tacky, and look distinctly odd standing next to a derelict building - for context see 1236285 .

Stretton-On-Dunsmore

While Stretton-On-Dunsmore isn't home to many top sights, Ryton Organic Gardens and Coventry Stadium are some notable places to visit nearby.
