This bridge is no longer in use by public traffic.
The Oxford Canal is a 78 miles (126 km) long narrow canal in central England linking Oxford with Coventry via Banbury and Rugby.
It connects with the River Thames at Oxford, to the Grand Union Canal at the villages of Braunston and Napton-on-the-Hill, and to the Coventry Canal at Hawkesbury Junction in Bedworth just north of Coventry.
The Oxford Canal passes mainly through the Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire countryside, and is often considered to be one of the most scenic canals in Britain.
The canal was once an important artery of trade between the English Midlands and London, but is now highly popular among pleasure boaters.
The Oxford canal north of Napton-on-the-Hill forms part of the Warwickshire ring.
