Welcome to Oxford Canal

The Oxford Canal is a beautiful waterway that runs through the heart of Oxfordshire. It is a popular destination for boaters, walkers, and cyclists who come to enjoy the stunning scenery and peaceful atmosphere. 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 is the stunning architecture that lines its banks. The canal passes through a number of historic towns and villages, including Banbury, Napton-on-the-Hill, and Braunston. Each of these places has its own unique character and charm, with beautiful old buildings, quaint pubs, and picturesque churches. The canal also passes through some stunning countryside, with rolling hills, lush green fields, and tranquil woodland.

Another great thing about the Oxford Canal is the abundance of wildlife that can be seen along its banks. The canal is home to a wide variety of birds, including kingfishers, herons, and swans. It is also a great place to spot otters, water voles, and other small mammals. Whether you are a nature lover or simply looking for a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the Oxford Canal is the perfect destination.
