A busy little section of the Oxford Canal, with moorings that serve the village of Napton-on-the-Hill. On a clear day, as many as seven counties can be seen from the village. The Folly pub is a great canalside establishment that prides itself on being a 'real pub'. Serving hearty food and a range of refreshments, you are sure to get a friendly welcome.

This is a pleasant marina that serves the village of Napton-on-the-Hill. The village offers splendid views of the Oxford Canal, as it bends around the hill. It is worth taking a look at Napton Windmill and St Lawrence Church, both beautiful buildings. Close to the marina, The Kings Head is a relaxed and family friendly pub that serves good food.

You cant go right up to the windmill, but the land owner installed a rest stop with a bench. He even planted the tree that can be found there.

You cant get close to the windmill, due to private land, but there is a super cute little picnic area on the right to grab a snack and breather, before heading back off. The keeper of the livestock nearby, actually planted the tree that overhangs the bench amny years ago. It's still going strong today.

Lovely inn to round off your walk with a well earned drink.

The site of Marston Doles Wharf, a canal wharf, where vessels would have loaded and unloaded goods. It was located north of the lock. The complex consists of 2×2-storey canal cottages in red brick; a yellow brick one-storey stable block and a two-storeywarehouse with blue brick decoration dated 1865, with an opening over the canal. There is a small basin. The buildings are generally in original condition and appear to be domestic dwellings and farm buildings.

Napton Windmill is a red brick tower mill that was built around 1835. It was designated a Grade II-listed building on 7th January 1952. The mill lay derelict until about 1972 when it was restored, converted into a house and fitted with four patent sails. In January 1976, two of the sails blew off in a gale and were later restored.

Commemorative plaque at the side of the lane about 150 metres from the mill. Inscription on the Plaque reads “You are welcome to use the seat on this private property at you own risk. This seat and Rowan tree are on the site of the WWII Observer Post operated by the Royal Observer Corps. It was part of a network of observer towers built for the purpose of providing a system for detecting and tracking aircraft. The Blitz on Coventry (to the north of this spot) in November 1940 would have been observed from the tower. Villagers also witnessed the event from the fields. The Tree was planted on the 50th anniversary. The Oxford Canal is close by and also played a part in the defences of the area in WWII. Following the fall of France in 1940 a German invasion was considered imminent and part of Britain’s defence system was a network of Inland Stop Lines. The canal around Napton was part of Western Command’s Napton to Coventry Stop Line. Evidence of these defences can still be found along the canal to the south of this spot. There are still Stent pillboxes on the side of the canal and anti-tank blocks just off the canal. The support to this country in its desperate hours by such people as the Observer Corps, The Home Guard, The Women’s Land Army and the Agricultural and Horticultural workers who fed and protected this Nation is not always adequately remembered. So, please take time to sit and reflect on the freedom we have today.” The Observer Corps The Corps was awarded the title ‘Royal’ by His Majesty King George VI in April 1941. During the Second World War the Royal Observer Corps undertook the long range tracking and reporting of enemy aircraft.
