The South Oxford Canal

Wending its way from Fenny Compton to Oxford, the southern part of the Oxford Canal passes through some of England's prettiest landscapes and picture-postcard villages. This towpath guide is not just for those taking a holiday along this beautiful stretch of water but also for those interested in the area and what it has to offer. Covering an area some mile or two either side of the canal, it is an invaluable resource for the canal boater, day tripper, angler, walker and interested local and covers the area from Fenny Compton to Oxford, a stretch of about forty miles. The South Oxford Canal is the first in a series of Towpath Guides from The History Press.
