Upper Heyford and Somerton


Upper Heyford Tithe Barn


Allen's Lock, Upper Heyford

We left our mooring at 9:35 continuing our journey home and soon passed through the small village of Upper Heyford where the impressive tithe barn (ancient monument, c. 1400) overlooks the canal.  The rest of the journey was quiet and slow with 3 locks, 2 of which we had to empty ourselves before entering and at the third we had to wait for a boat coming down.

Moored about a mile after Somerton

We stopped in a pleasant rural area at 12:10 soon after Somerton Deep Lock about a mile beyond the small village of Somerton.
