Abour Braunston
Braunston lies at the junction of the Grand Union and Oxford Canals in a rural setting on the border of Warwickshire and Northamptonshire. The village, on the hill above the canal, thrived for over 150 years on the canal trade – carrying goods from the Midlands to London. Now it is a centre for leisure activities and boasts by far and away the busiest stretch of canal anywhere in the country.
All Saints Church
Braunston is steeped in canal history. Many boaters have been married at the church, known as the Cathedral of the Canals. Find out more on their website
