Welcome to Oxford Canal

The Oxford Canal is a beautiful waterway that runs through the heart of Warwickshire. It is a popular destination for boaters, walkers, and cyclists who come to enjoy the stunning scenery and peaceful surroundings. The canal stretches for 78 miles from Oxford to Coventry, passing through some of the most picturesque countryside in England.

One of the highlights of the Oxford Canal in Warwickshire is the Hatton Locks. This flight of 21 locks is a marvel of engineering and a testament to the ingenuity of the canal builders. Visitors can watch as boats navigate their way up or down the locks, or take a leisurely stroll along the towpath and enjoy the views. The Hatton Locks are also home to a café and a gift shop, making it a great place to stop for a bite to eat or to pick up a souvenir.

Another must-see attraction on the Oxford Canal in Warwickshire is the town of Braunston. This charming village is home to a number of historic buildings, including the All Saints Church, which dates back to the 13th century. Braunston is also famous for its annual canal festival, which takes place in June and attracts thousands of visitors from all over the country. The festival features live music, food and drink stalls, and a range of activities for all ages.
