From Bubbenhall the three paths follow the same route northeast to Ryton-on-Dunsmore (17 miles), cross under the A45 and continue to Wolston (19 miles), where they diverge: the Centenary Way goes directly north to Brandon, while the Coventry Way and Shakespeare's Avon Way head northeast, under the Coventry to Rugby railway line to Bretford (20 miles). Here they too separate: Shakespeare's Avon Way follows the path of the river east towards Church Lawford, while the Coventry Way heads north to Brinklow (23 miles). It traverses the motte and bailey (the site of Brinklow Castle and passes the church of St John the Baptist.
