    The Oxford Canal is 126km narrow canal linking Oxford with Bedworth via Banbury and Rugby, which historically has played a major role as a canal artery of trade between the Midlands and London. Construction started in 1769 but only reached Oxford in 1790.

    The towpath of the canal forms the 132 km Oxford Canal Walk. The highlighted final stretch into Oxford starts where the A40 crosses the canal, and is one of the most beautiful ways to enter the city of Oxford.

    ...Quiet, no traffic. Drive carefully, because the bike path is very narrow.
