A picture of Somerton, in the county of Oxfordshire

The cottage just visible near the centre is an old lock keeper's cottage on the Oxford Canal at Somerton Deep Lock, and is the only occupied house that I know of with NO road or track to access it. The guy who lives there uses a little motor boat.
