By Road
The Narrowboat 'Oliver" is moored at the Welton Hythe Marina. which is on a spur of the Grand Union Canal near Daventry. The access road to the Marina is just off the A5 (the old Roman Road that used to be called Watling Street - it's the straight green line on the map to the left).
To get there, the basic rule is to get to junction 16 of the M1; take the A45 to Weedon, and join the A5 north from there. Welton Hythe Marina is 5.5 miles north, on the left. A picture of the turn is shown below.

By Rail
There is a railway station at Long Buckby, 2.6 miles away door to door. It's a lot closer if you walk the towpath from Welton Hythe to Buckby Wharf, and then pick up the road to Long Buckby.
This station is on the Birmigham - Northampton - London line, and the service is operated by Silverlink. If you are carrying luggage, then you will need a taxi to take you to the mooring. Here are two services in Long Buckby:
