View of Chesterton Windmill

Highlight • Monument

You have to cycle along the grass to get to the windmill, this can be muddy in less kind weather. There is a bin for litter, but it often overflows. Popular spot in nice weather, quieter at sunrise and sunset.

Battle of Edgcote

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Battle of Edgecote Moor took place 6 miles (9.7 km) north east of Banbury, Oxfordshire, in what is now the civil parish of Chipping Warden and Edgcote, England on 26 July 1469 during the Wars of the Roses. The site of the battle was actually Danes Moor in Northamptonshire, at a crossing of a tributary of the River Cherwell. The battle saw supporters of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, defeat the forces of King Edward IV, leading to the king's capitulation soon afterwards.

Quiet Back Lane to Culworth

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Quiet back lane on the edge of Culworth. It is tarmac but has quite a few potholes and some mud and gravel on the road as it isn't used much.

"A tranquil Tudor manor house set in rare terraced gardens, with the 'antient' Dryden family at its heart

Built by the Drydens using the remains of a medieval priory, the house and gardens have survived largely unaltered since 1710 and are presented as they were during the Victorian era.

The warm, welcoming house features grand rooms, stunning tapestries and Jacobean plasterwork, contrasting with the domestic detail of the servants' quarters.

Stroll in the historic parkland and catch glimpses of early medieval landscapes, while a wander through the priory church reveals the story of the canons of Canons Ashby."

Marston Doles Canal Wharf

Highlight • Structure

The site of Marston Doles Wharf, a canal wharf, where vessels would have loaded and unloaded goods. It was located north of the lock.


The complex consists of 2×2-storey canal cottages in red brick; a yellow brick one-storey stable block and a two-storeywarehouse with blue brick decoration dated 1865, with an opening over the canal. There is a small basin. The buildings are generally in original condition and appear to be domestic dwellings and farm buildings.
