Dodford still has an open ford which kids (and adults) can paddle in.
The canal is nearby, offering a peaceful stroll whilst the narrow boats sail past.

Amanda the owner of the 'Magic Mushroom Cabin', is a qualified Reiki Master and can offer relaxing and balancing Reiki treatments at £45 for 45 mins.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Why not treat yourself to a massage, manicure or pedicure? Secrets Beauty Salon in nearby Daventry offer a complete range of treatments including hairdressing.
