It would be difficult to imagine a more picturesque building than The Red Lion Inn with its walls of honey-coloured local stone and its roof of grey, beautifully crafted thatch. Even the porch has its own covering of thatch. Cropredy village sits beside the Oxford Canal, amongst beautiful countryside, with towpath walks stretching for miles in either direction and the inn itself, is just a few moments walk from the Cropredy Lock, along the delightful Red Lion Street.
This pretty village is steeped in history and every four years witnesses the re-enactment of the 1644 Battle of Cropredy Bridge. Each year the village is home to the famous Cropredy Fesitval. This lovely, family folk festival is organised by the legendary folk band, Fairport Convention.
The Red Lion has a wide and varied menu with traditional choices as well as a la carte options. A selection of cask ales and largers are available.
