Napton Narrowboats - Simply follow these instructions. Go to OxfordshireNapton Narrowboats and book a 3, 4 or 7 night break in May or June. That's right, you could be away from it all in a weeks time! Treat the family and yourself to a short cruise along the Oxford Canal and even onto the Grand Union canal. Once aboard your narrowboat you will notice the home from home comforts! These are top quality narrowboats designed especially for your enjoyment.

Next, I recommend starting at Lower Heyford on the South Oxfordshire Canal and travelling northwards towards Fenny Compton you will enjoy the splendid scenery on either side of the canal. Water meadows and breathtaking landscapes as Spring flowers are in full bloom and Summer approaches. The Cotswolds, well-known for gentle hillsides ('wolds'), sleepy villages and lovely traditional style pubs lie to the west and north. As you reach Fenny Compton you will moor up at Fenny Marina, a very well maintained facility.

As a new day dawns you will move off along the canal towards Napton junction, which is where the South Oxfordshire canal meets the Grand Union canal. You will stop for a spot of lunch at Napton Marina, you will notice the restored windmill as you approach, then you can wander around the area. You are going to be busy this afternoon navigating 9 locks at this junction to allow your narrowboat onto the Grand Union Canal, so if you have kids with you, get them involved!
