Road directions
From M1 Junction 18: Head towards Kilsby. When you reach Kilsby you come to a roundabout, here you need to take A5 turning to Milton Keynes. After a short time, you will see a left hand turn to Watford. Ignore this, and continue down the A5. You will soon see 'The New Inn' to your right as you cross the canal. You need to turn left at the junction just ahead. As you near the Railway and motorway bridges ahead, you will notice an area on the right hand side where you can park your car. The canal passes under the road just a few yards further ahead. You need to walk down to the canal to reach the location.
Parking
If you can, please park as described above. DO NOT park in the road opposite to this, as although it looks like a dwelling, the building is actually a surgery, and room is often needed in assisting elderly patients in and out of vehicles here.
Public transport
This is a relatively short walk from Long Buckby station itself.
Amenities
If you continue to walk down the canal, you will come to Whilton Locks where there is a garden centre and restaurant. Long Buckby village also has lots to offer. The New Inn on the A5 is recommended for its great selection of beer, and outstanding meals.
Shots are limited here, but the location can provide something a little different to break up the monotony of Pendolino shots which all look the same! Although mostly suited to morning shots, an alternative summer shot of the bridge crossing the canal can be had from about 16:30 onwards.
