Canons Ashby

Reviewed By PandyPandora - Harpenden, United Kingdom

Definitely worth a visit. Prior to our visit, we had not heard of this place and chose it based on distance to travel. It is a National Trust property so free for members, otherwise £11.60 with gift aid. Everyone from car park steward to the ladies scanning our NT cards, to the volunteers in the different rooms of the house and the staff in the cafe were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The volunteers in the rooms were also very knowledgeable and were interesting to listen to. There are also information folders in each room and on arrival you are given a leaflet with a floor plan and room information. The gardens and church open at 10am and the house at 11.30am. Arrive early as it gets busy. The church is what remains of an Augustinian Priory. The gardens are lovely with great views of the surrounding countryside. The Stables tea room has indoor and outdoor seating. There is a selection of hot food (jacket potatoes, soup), sandwiches and cakes plus options for hot and cold drinks. Service was prompt and the food was good.

Borough Hill

Borough Hill is one of the largest hill forts in the country - man has lived and worked on this site for over 5,000 years. In June 1995, the Council gained the National Monument (Bronze Age Hill Fort) on Borough Hill to care for. The Hill is managed alongside Natural England ensuring the survival of the monument for everyone to enjoy.

Weedon Royal Ordnance Depot

Vintique Limited... a superb ground floor collection of antiques and collectables. Each time we visit there are new things on show. You can easily lose an hour browsing with free parking alongside the historic canal and Royal Ordnance Depot which adds to the experience. Highly recommended.

Great, friendly pub and in a fascinating position by the banks of the Grand Union canal close to its junction with the Oxford Canal. Enjoy a drink and a meal whilst watching the narrowboats chug by! Walk it all off afterwards with a stroll along the towpath!
