Hatton Locks
Highlight (Segment) • Trail
Fantastic walk any time of the year along the canal where there are a number of locks. You can watch the canal boats going through the locks, or if you're feeling a bit peckish grab a lock keepers lunch in the Cafe.

Hatton Winding Hole, Grand Union Canal
Highlight • River
A winding hole is a place along the canal which is much wider than the usual breadth, enabling long narrowboats to be turned through 180 degrees.
Going eastbound towards Warwick, this is the last winding hole before reaching Hatton Locks, although there is another, unofficial, widening of the canal about 130 metres further on to the east, but that is more like a cattle watering point than a winding hole. Even so it would be a struggle to turn a 70 foot boat in this space.

Hatton Station Bridge No. 56, Grand Union Canal
Highlight • Bridge
The settlement of Hatton Station is within a rural setting where development is contained around the station and canal area and forms a strong ribbon pattern along Station Road. Within the wider area there are individual farmhouses and barns (listed buildings) that have been incorporated within residential /commercial development and which provide visual references to the former small scale pastoral landscape synonymous with Ancient Arden. The skyline is generally well vegetated, formed by hedgerows and mature trees within, or immediately adjacent to, the canal. The land that separates Shrewley from Little Shrewley and Hatton forms a rural backdrop to these settlements. There are two listed buildings -former farmhouses that have been absorbed within more recent residential development as well as the listed canal tunnel.
The station house, next to the canal and Bridge 56, is a two storey listed former canalside pub in brick with a plain tile roof.
Hatton Station Bridge No 56 is a minor waterways place on the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Birmingham Canal: widened section - Main Line) between Budbrooke Junction (Junction of Saltisford Arm and Grand Union Main Line) (3 miles and 2¼ furlongs and 21 locks to the east) and Kingswood Junction (Junction of Grand Union and Stratford upon Avon Canals) (4 miles to the northwest).
