Additional information

Good place for overnight, general shop open 6.30, 3 pubs, chippy if you must, nice butchers, out of the weather, chandlers x 2 water elsan, pump out etc.

Waste disposal is over the bridge next door to Midland Chandlers.

We moored outside the Boathouse pub (we asked and they said overnight was OK) - good, secure and surprisingly not noisy spot, good wifi signal in pub (what an excuse) they even did take away desserts!! Nice circular walk to the church, high street and then down to canal.
