Hatton Locks is a remarkable staircase of 21 locks along the Grand Union Canal, often called the 'Stairway to Heaven' by boaters. Visitors can walk the towpath alongside the locks, watching narrowboats rise or descend through the water steps. The surrounding countryside offers peaceful views, and the lock keeper's cottage adds historic charm. It's a favourite spot for families, cyclists, and anglers, providing a quintessential English canal experience.
