ウィラビーのおすすめツーリングルート

It’s a really nice place to get to and have a café ride. It’s nice to just ride around the reservoir. 

Draycote Water is an artificial reservoir (23 million m3), which was completed in 1969. In addition to its function as a water reserve, it is a leisure park u.a. for anglers, sailors, hikers. The rich bird life invites also to observations. Swimming is not allowed in the lake.

Bit muddy and slippery in places in October

Excellent 8km cycling with great views and rest areas.

You get on here at bottom of the hill going towards Draycote.

Beautiful spot to sit and enjoy though beware of the flies!

More trees being cut down for the HS2

Radford, lock 23, is the first of twenty locks that lift the canal 146’ to join the Oxford Canal at Napton. Back pumps were installed here in 1942 to return water from the bottom level.
