A tiny village on the banks of the Grand Union Canal, Stoke Bruerne charms visitors with historic bridges and buildings. Nearly all of the buildings in the village are at least 200 years old, including the houses. With a small population under 400 residents, preservation of the village as a historic landmark has become paramount. Stone bridges, antiquated houses, beautiful lochs, and traditional pubs establish Stoke Bruerne as a voice from the past, where visitors can enjoy the simplicity of 19th century living while marveling at the architecture of the skilled craftsmen that came with the era.
Situated on the Grand Union Canal, Stoke Bruerne has become a popular tourist stop along the waterfront, especially during the summer months. A ride along the canal takes passengers from London to Birmingham, coursing its way through scenic stops along the way.
