About
The Cherwell operational catchment extends south from the headwaters of the river at Charwelton in Northamptonshire to its confluence with the River Thames at New Hinksey. It is predominantly rural in character. The main urban areas are Banbury and Kidlington. The river Cherwell shares its valley with the Oxford canal and for much of its course the canal runs parallel to the river. For the 1.5 km between Enslow and Shipton-on-Cherwell, the river and canal occupy the same channel.
