Hatton Locks

Travel towards Hatton from Warwick and about a mile from the A46 turnoff you will come across a small lane on the left that will take you to Hatton Locks.  This is an amazing flight of 21 locks in just a two mile stretch of the Grand Union Canal.

Pick a nice sunny day when there are plenty of narrow boats and you can stroll along the canal path watching them making their gradual progress through the locks or take one of the more ambitious walks using a free map that is available from the café and shop.

There is a small pay and display car park at the locks and some information about the canal and locks supplied by British Waterways.

While wandering the tow paths, take in the colourful traditional artwork on many of the narrow boats that are moored along the canal’s banks.

Further up the canal from the top of the flight there is a path leading towards Hatton Country World with its shopping village and farm attraction.  For those not local and without a car, Warwick Parkway train station is close by and there is a footpath leading from one of the car parks to the bottom of the flight.
