Coventry Cruising Club is located on an old colliery arm near Hawkesbury Junction on the Northern Oxford Canal, close to where the Oxford Canal meets the Coventry Canal.

The club's moorings occupy a distinctive spot on this former industrial waterway, which runs directly beneath the M6 motorway.

Hawkesbury Junction itself is a historically significant location, originally the site of a long-running dispute between two rival canal companies that once ran their waterways parallel to each other for over a mile before the junction was eventually rebuilt at Hawkesbury.

The area retains notable heritage features including a cast-iron towpath bridge and an engine house that once used a Newcomen steam engine to pump water from nearby mines into the Coventry Canal.
