Welcome to Grand Union Canal

The Grand Union Canal in Warwickshire is a beautiful waterway that stretches for 25 miles from Braunston to Napton. It was originally built in the late 18th century to transport goods between London and Birmingham, and today it is a popular destination for boaters, walkers, and cyclists. The canal passes through some of Warwickshire's most picturesque countryside, including rolling hills, lush green fields, and charming villages.

One of the highlights of the Grand Union Canal in Warwickshire is the Hatton Locks flight, which consists of 21 locks that raise the canal by 45 meters over a distance of just over two miles. This impressive feat of engineering is a popular spot for visitors, who can watch the boats navigate the locks and enjoy a picnic on the grassy banks. Another popular attraction is the village of Braunston, which is home to a number of historic buildings, including the All Saints Church, which dates back to the 13th century.

Overall, the Grand Union Canal in Warwickshire is a wonderful place to visit for anyone who loves the great outdoors. Whether you're looking to take a leisurely stroll along the towpath, cycle through the countryside, or explore the charming villages and historic landmarks along the way, there is something for everyone to enjoy. So why not plan a trip to this beautiful part of the country and experience the magic of the Grand Union Canal for yourself?
