Wootton Wawen - Henley-in-Arden
Potter along the Stratford Canal to Wilmcote – from our narrowboat rental base at Wootton Wawen near Henley-in-Arden in Warwickshire, day boaters can head south along the Stratford Canal. The two-hour route takes you across the impressive Edstone Aqueduct and passes through one lock before reaching the historic village of Wilmcote. You can moor up above Wilmcote Top Lock and take a short walk into the village, where you’ll find The Mary Arden Inn and The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust’s Mary Arden Farm.
Alternatively, on a day afloat from Wootton Wawen you can cruise north along the Stratford Canal to the pretty village of Lowsonford and back. The journey takes three hours each way, and passes through eight locks each way.
