A good spot for a bit of wild swimming. This section of the River Cherwell, just off the canal, is very calm and private. Great to cool off on those hot rides, or it's also just nice to sit by the banks and take a rest.

A fine lock and a great place to sit and watch the boats go by. The shared walking and biking path next to the lock is smooth hardpack gravel so suitable on any bike type.
