Marston Doles Bridge No 119 is a minor waterways place on the Oxford Canal (Southern Section - Main Line) between Fenny Compton Wharf (7 miles and 4¼ furlongs and 1 lock to the southwest) and Old Engine House Arm Junction (6½ furlongs and 1 lock to the northwest). It is part of Napton Locks. The nearest place in the direction of Fenny Compton Wharf is Marston Doles Top Lock No 16; a few yards away. The nearest place in the direction of Old Engine House Arm Junction is Marston Doles Bottom Lock No 15; 1 furlong away.

A circular earthwork is clearly visible on the ground on Harts Hill. It measures approximately 15m internal diameter, the ditch is 2m wide and the entrance (facing SE) is 2.5m across.

There is documentary evidence for a windmill here from the Post Medieval period and possibly earlier. It was of the post mill type and was restored in the 1930s but blew down in the 1946. It was at Windmill Hill. The beacon is what is left.

Burton Dassett Hills Country Park boasts 100 acres (40 ha) of rolling hills with breathtaking panoramic views. On a clear day, views stretch beyond Coventry. Opened in 1971, the park contains many historical sites, including the ironstone quarry remains and the 12th-century All Saints Church.

Located on a broad ridgeline above the surrounding Warwickshire countryside, Priors Hardwick is a gorgeous village of rust and oche coloured ironstone houses. Amongst its narrow lanes is the Butchers Arms, a 14th-century inn that serves excellent food with a Portuguese flair. Accommodation can be sought at Hill Farm, which offers bed and breakfast and glamping.

Fenny Marina is a lovely spot on the Oxford Canal, surrounded by beautiful countryside. If you're feeling hungry, pub classics are served just up the canal at the Wharf Inn, which also offers camping pitches. A stroll into the village of Fenny Compton brings you to the award-winning Merrie Lion pub. There's also a Co-op for stocking up on supplies.
