The pub itself is situated on the main through-road surrounded by local business, residential housing, recreational fields and the Oxford canal. The village maintains its links with the canal through the thriving boatyard and boat hire company. The transport links to the M6 and M69 are just a short distance away with them both being within a five minute drive.
