Ideally situated at the head of the Oxford Canal, Napton is a base for a large number of interesting routes. On circular routes, the East Midland Ring goes through contrasting scenery from Leicester to the River Soar.
The Warwickshire Ring, for the more energetic, also has the contrasts with beautiful countryside around Warwick, then industry near Birmingham and Spaghetti junction. Trips of beauty and interest can be achieved, including Stratford-on-Avon, Oxford, Snarestone, or a visit to the Waterways Museum at Stoke Bruerne, depending on the number of locks which you wish to negotiate.
