Day Out in Daventry

Friday 31^stJuly

We decided to catch the bus to Daventry today as we haven’t been there before and also we needed to get some food supplies.  Kev looked on online and found out that the bus went from outside the Kings Head pub just up the road from Bridge 109 where we are moored.  So we got ready and walked up the road to the crossroads which was only a five minute walk and the bus stop was on the corner by the pub.

Daventry Town Centre

Daventry High Street

It was about a 20 minute bus ride to Daventry, the bus fare was quite dear though, £6.25 return each, classed as a country service I suppose.

The bus station is right in the centre of the town and opposite the bus station is a Waitrose and a Tesco and in the pedestrianized shopping street, there was an Aldi, so plenty of choice for food shopping.

We had a stroll around the shops, there was a general market in the high street with a few stalls so we had a look around there, then went for lunch in the Wetherspoons, as it was Friday, it was fish and chips, it was very nice and cheap and cheerful.

We had another walk around the shops, stopped for a coffee, then did our food shopping and caught the bus back.

Daventry is okay as a town, not that much there but very good for getting supplies.
