About a mile from Heyford Station and the Oxford Canal, the village of Steeple Aston used to have two lions, of which only Hook Norton's Red Lion still remains, although in fact the original Red Lion was actually next door. The stone-built bar area to the front, with open fire, boasts displays of hanging baskets on the front patio in summer, and is complemented by the modern conservatory-style dining area to the rear.
