Awaiting Branston lock to empty. We will be spending the weekend moored near the Bridge Inn, Branston, exploring the Branston Country Park. After lunch we took a walk into the village.

There is a tunnel under the main road to get to the village.

There are some useful shops.

Quite a surprisingly large medical centre for the size of the village.
