The tap on the outside wall here doesn’t work (April 2025)

At the foot of Edge hill. Nice little town.

Chipping Warden is a typically pretty village for the area. Smaller than some of its more famous neighbours but no less picturesque. A good spot to rest and seek refreshment.

Watch out for the pretty lakes, sheep and beautiful houses

Cropredy is a lovely village with walks along the Oxford Canal

Chipping Warden is a Northamptonshire village with a rich history. On the River Cherwell, to the east, are the remains of a Roman villa, while just to the south of the village is an Iron Age hillfort, Arbury Banks. The village sits on the Jurassic Way long-distance trail. Walkers in need of a pitstop will be delighted that there are two pubs: the Griffin and the Rose and Crown.

The nearest place in the direction of Cropredy Wharf Bridge No 153 is Varney's Lock No 23; ¾ furlongs away. The nearest place in the direction of Fenny Compton Wharf is Elkington's Bridge No 148; 1¼ furlongs away.

With roots in Anglo-Saxon times and located on the Oxford Canal and River Cherwell, Cropredy is a picturesque and historic village with plenty of fine walking in the Cherwell Valley. Two public houses offer refreshment, as does the lovely Mulberry Cafe. The Brasenose Arms is your best bet for accommodation. The village hosts the Fairport Cropredy Convention folk music festival every year. Curated by the legendary Fairport Convention, the festival has lit up the village since 1976.
