hello and welcome to another edition of through the hedge
so today we are moored up on the Oxford Canal and we have some posting to do so
we are going through the hedge to find a local post office according to the map
there is a local post office and village store selling local produce in a nearby
village a couple of minutes walk away there's also a cidery yeah so we're
hoping to be able to have a look around there and that is through the hedge
today if you think that sounds enjoyable well then you're in for a treat
we are here at bridge 113 on the South Oxford Canal to our left facing away
from the locks is the Folly Inn and to our right is the post office and village store
so we are going to head to the post office and then we may come back for a
pub lunch It looks like there's some kind of moorings in front but I think
that's just for a water point yeah and then behind after you go through this
lock which is lock number eight there is some Armco that you can
moor up on there if you wanted to go to the pub or the post office
So this is the way to the post office but just before you get to the post office you
get to a cidery Napton cidery let's go have a look at that
interestingly napton cidery produced its first cider in 2012 and
then in 2015 it started selling cider
they do have open days and they have events and tastings we will put a link
to that in the description below because unfortunately today is not Saturday
which we didn't realize and so they are not open for a tour today
we decided not to have a pub lunch (poor Kath) because we are budgeting so we spent the pub lunch money and bought
just like a little baguette from the shop and also something for dinner yeah
so we bought some local produce yes it was made in the napton / warwickshire area
We had some ice cream which was delicious. And we bought some other things to take home and cook for dinner
it's a better use of funds. It's nice to support the local produce makers as well
Not that I'm sure the pub isn't also supporting them they could be using the same ingredients but umm....
Get yourself in a loop there of who you want to support
support everyone! We thoroughly recommend that little shop if you are at the bottom look or actually any of
these look like the Oxford canal because is it just really good to stock up there
It's got a little cafe really busy in there all the cakes are
homemade just seems really lovely really nice place just to stop in spend some
time beyond that we are kind of in the middle of nowhere there isn't really
anything else anyway there's a I think another little village that we could
have walked to but that would have involved going down a main road because not actually anywhere near here we're about a
40-minute walk up the top of the locks yeah we're up the top of the locks. It's fine it's nice it's a
nice walk it's a nice walk yeah thanks for watching today's episode if you've
enjoyed it please do give us a like and subscribe to see future through the
heads
