A Day On The Canal

Lower Heyford Wharf  is only a 5 minute drive from the The Jersey Arms.
We are a great location for a spot of lunch or dinner before or after your trip on the canal
From the time of the Canal’s construction in 1790, it became a highway for goods travelling, with Lower Heyford opening its own major Wharf. 
The highly picturesque Heyford Wharf is still a proper working boatyard .
It remains a firm favourite amongst tourists arriving to hire canal narrowboats for holidays and daytrips during the summer months.

Explore the Oxford Canal landscape on foot following the Lower Heyford Circular Walk 2 miles or the Cherwell Valley walks up to 14 miles.
