Walking to Chesterton Windmill

Hi,

Has anyone walked from Leamington to Chesterton Windmill? Ideally I'd go down golf lane and down the footpath that takes you to the fossway. I would then walk along the fossway to chesterton road and up chesterton road. The problem is walking along the side of the fossway seems like a death trap, grass verges maybe but cars and big lorries going crazy speed. Chesterton road also seems to have no footpath or grass verges for some of it but maybe the road is quieter so I can walk up the side of it, still seems a bit death trappy.

I had a look on some old footpath maps of warwickshire and it says it used to be a public footpath but maybe that just meant walking up the road and maybe that all went when we decided cars are the best and the roads were expanded.

Seems weird that the whitnash footpath going from golf lane -> fossway just stops there and there is no footpath the other side.

Anyone done it? Maybe walked through some fields? Other option is getting a bus to harbury and walking that side, I presume that is doable?

Ideally I would walk this red line, obviously not really doable and even the 2 routes google maps offers me seem to be walking up the side of fairly busy roads with no footpath or verges.
