If you find yourself on the south Oxford canal near Napton on the Hill you can now feel free to visit the Folly Inn, under completely NEW management ( the previous incumbents having done a moonlight flit owing several thousand to the brewery apparently!) It now has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, a much extended and improved menu i.e. you can get something which ISN'T a pie! Also roast dinner served on Sundays 2 till 4 or sooner if it runs out! Ales on tap last night included a St Austell ale and Old Hooky. What a relief to find a pub re-opened and better than before. The neighbouring shop is useful too, all sorts of useful bits and bobs, locally made sausages, second hand books to swap or buy for 50p. You can order a paper for the following morning and they do cash back. Result. We need more places like this along the cut. Use them or lose them!
And the windmill on the hill seems to rotate around you as you follow the contours...well worth a trip up the hill if you're feeling energetic.
