Crick

Once a year, the scenic marina becomes the bustling hub of the annual Crick Boat Show, but for the most part this is a restful destination with opportunities to stroll uninterrupted along the canal towpath and through the old village centre.

A church has stood in Crick since 700 AD but the current Norman structure dates from around 1077. St Margaret's church is an attractive building with a medieval spire and brickwork which glints red-gold in the afternoon sunshine.

Crick may not be the largest town, but it has a typically British supply of pubs and restaurants. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing waterside meal on the terrace of Edwards, or gravitate towards the various traditional town centre pubs including the thatched Red Lion.
