Hatton, Warwickshire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hatton is a village about 4 miles north of Warwick. Notable features include a remarkable series of 21 canal locks, a shopping village (Hatton Country World) and a former psychiatric hospital (Central Hospital, Hatton) that has been turned into a large housing estate while still preserving the original Victorian buildings. The public house, the Waterman, has been noted for its regular large assemblies of motorbikes. Shrewley and Beausale are hamlets within the parish of Hatton.

[edit] Transport
