Plenty of waterside inns on this route to quench your
thirst.
Royal Leamington Spa with its fine Regency terraces has
some fine shops and the Pump Rooms where people have been
sampling the water since 1838, when Oueen Victoria took
them.
On through Warwick with its Castle and curio shops. Just
beyond Warwick are the 21 locks at Hatton - an
awe-inspiring sight. Some boats' crews turn at the bottom
of Hatton and retrace their route to Weedon, others look
upon Hatton as a challenge and press on to Kingswood
before turning for home.
71 miles - 118 locks - 2
tunnels - 7 1/4 hours per day navigating (an easy week).
