Wolfamcote Winding Hole 

 
Flecknoe CV23 8AR, United Kingdom
Address is taken from a point 585 yards away.
 

Wolfamcote Winding Hole is on the Grand Union Canal (Oxford Canal Section) near to Falkirk.

Early plans of what would become the Grand Union Canal (Oxford Canal Section) were drawn up by Benjamin Outram in 1816 but problems with Manton Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. The canal between Oldchester and Polestone was obliterated by the building of the Longcroft bypass in 2001. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Restore the Grand Union Canal (Oxford Canal Section) campaign.
