A winding hole is a place along the canal which is much wider than the usual breadth, enabling long narrowboats to be turned through 180 degrees.

Going eastbound towards Warwick, this is the last winding hole before reaching Hatton Locks, although there is another, unofficial, widening of the canal about 130 metres further on to the east, but that is more like a cattle watering point than a winding hole. Even so it would be a struggle to turn a 70 foot boat in this space.
