Maps and Directions
Weedon Bec
(or Beck) is located about 6 miles (9.7 km) southeast of
Daventry,
7 miles (11.3 km) west of
Northampton
and is at the
crossroads
of the
A5
and
A45
main roads. The
Grand Union Canal
(1796) and
West Coast Main Line
both
pass
through the village. [References are those back to
Wikipedia]

For those approaching Weedon
using the M1 Motorway, take Junction 16
(signposted to A45 Daventry and Coventry, travelling
westwards). The junction with the A5 will be reached in
about 4-5 miles, having passed through the village of
Flore. At this junction, turn LEFT on the A5, and almost
immediately take the first
turn RIGHT into the village of Weedon Bec. This will
pass under the Canal and Railway (narrow bridges!).
At next T junction turn LEFT into
centre of village, at which point turn RIGHT on West
Street. The
Village Hall is about 500 yards on left.
Carparking will
be available on a first come first served basis in front
of the Hall, but use the first access not the second as
a one-way system operates. |
|
For those approaching Weedon from the south, not
on the M1,
take the A43 (between Northampton, Junction 15A
on the M1 and Junction 10 on the M40), and turn
northwards onto the A5 at the roundabout north
of Towcester (RIGHT from Northampton and LEFT
from the M40).
This is Watling Street. Having passed the
village of Pattishall and the Pub called the
'Narrow Boat' on the right, take the next turn
LEFT, immediately after the bridge over the
Canal, signposted Weedon, go under the Railway
and Canal (narrow bridges!) and the road takes
you into the centre of Weedon Bec. At the
cross-roads, go STRAIGHT ON, along West Street, and the Village
Hall is about 500 yards on left.
Carparking will
be available on a first come first served basis
in front of the Hall, but use the first access
not the second as a one-way system operates. |
|
For those approaching Weedon from the north and
west, this is likely to be along the A45
from the Coventry direction. Turn RIGHT on the
A5, southwards.
Take the first turn RIGHT into the
village of Weedon Bec. This will pass under the Canal
and Railway (narrow bridges!).
At next T junction turn LEFT into
centre of village, at which point turn RIGHT onto West
Street. The
Village Hall is about 500 yards on left. Carparking will
be available on a first come first served basis in front
of the Hall, but use the first access not the second as
a one-way system operates.
Alternatively, turn RIGHT before
you reach the A5 along
Harman's Way through the
housing estate, then Bridge Street, until you reach the main cross-roads
in the centre of the village, whereupon turn
RIGHT along West Street. |
|
To avoid the narrow bridges with larger vehicles, there
is a further way into the village, off
the A45. This turning is immediately to the west
of the cross-roads of the A5 with the A45, after
having crossed the canal and railway lines. From
this cross-roads, take the second turn
LEFT, southwards, and follow Harman's Way through the
housing estate, then Bridge Street, until you reach the main cross-roads
in the centre of the village, whereupon turn
RIGHT along West Street. |
