The hamlet is situated about 3 miles northeast of the town of Sapperton and is part of the wider parish of Sapperton.

Daneway is best known for its connection to the Thames and Severn Canal, which runs through the village.

The surrounding area offers a range of outdoor activities, with numerous walking and cycling trails that provide stunning views of the rolling hills and pastoral landscapes. The nearby Daneway Banks nature reserve is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts, with its diverse range of flora and fauna.

Despite its small size, Daneway has a rich history, with several historical landmarks in the vicinity. The Daneway House, a Grade II listed building, is a notable example of traditional Cotswold architecture and dates back to the 17th century.

Overall, Daneway is a charming and serene village that offers a peaceful retreat for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. Its natural beauty, historical significance, and proximity to the Cotswolds make it a popular destination for visitors looking to experience the quintessential English countryside.

Judging by the height and thickness of the grass, this does not seem to be well used. Perhaps not surprising, as it doesn't lead easily to anywhere in particular. It is on the Bathurst Estate.

All part of the Bathurst Estate, but walkers and horse-riders are allowed to roam freely during the day.

We were walking west on the south bank, and at this point just carried on doing so. Fortunately, within a few yards I realised that we should have crossed to the north bank (and the clear path seen here on the right). Even more fortunately, my shouts to my companions (who were ahead) alerted another couple to the fact that they had made the same error. When I did the walk (April 2017) there was no waymarking at this spot indicating the need to change banks (though there was for those walking east). I hope that this will have been corrected by the time you arrive.
