River Cherwell - Aynho | Canoeing, Wildlife & Exploring

On this trip the river was flooded, with debris blocking parts of the route. Though canoeing was a bit trickier, it was still a great spot for wildlife photography. After paddling through and a very short portage, I boiled some water enjoyed a hot cup of tea while taking in the peaceful surroundings. It was is a small loop that connects to the Oxford Canal and lays mid-Cherwell, meandering through in the Cherwell valley cutting between two villages Adderbury and Anyho. It was just one of those places that you pass by often and look over keenly but never get around to it. Now, I'm happy that I have finally explored this little nook.

The source of the River Cherwell rises from Hellidon, Northamptonshire. The River Cherwell flows southwards for 40 miles (64 km) to meet the Thames at Oxford in Oxfordshire.
