THE ASHBY AND NORTH OXFORD TO BRAUNSTON
The information provided on this page will be related to sights and scenes that can be accessed while cruising the Ashby and North Oxford canals on the way to and from Braunston.
If you wish your holiday to be more a voyage of discovery as you pass along the canal, perhaps this page is not for you. 
Maybe you just wish to experience the relaxed experience of prolonged, gentle, canal boat cruising. 
But for those of you who wish a more planned holiday that will take full advantage of what lies within easy access of this inland waterway this page may help.

The Ashby Canal and North Oxford have a number of excellent public houses with superb food. The Greyhound at Hawkesbury, is just one fine example.
On the way to Braunston you can divert five miles to the ‘Basin’ close to Coventry to visit the cathedral. 
Heading towards the spires of the church towards Braunston you travel through Rugby, an old market town, with the public school in the centre. 
This relaxing week takes you through only 4 locks.
