Information about the place
Footbridge upstream of George Billington Lock is a minor waterways place on the River Avon - Warwickshire (Upper Avon Navigation) between Evesham Lock (Junction of Upper and Lower Avon Navigations) (3 miles and 7 furlongs and 1 lock to the southwest) and Royal Shakespeare Theatre (14 miles and 3 furlongs and 8 locks to the east).
 
 
The nearest place in the direction of Evesham Lock is George Billington Lock (Named after a man whose donation enabled volunteers to build the lock. He died of an incurable disease within a week of the lock's opening.); ¾ furlongs away.
 
The nearest place in the direction of Royal Shakespeare Theatre is George Billington Lock Weir Entrance (Channel leading to the Weir); ½ furlongs away.

There is no access to the towpath here.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor). Space for about 12 narrowboats in all, so very roomy by River Avon standards, with another 2 good ones on the other bank above the weir for 'Fish & Anchor' customers.

Facilities: chemical toilet disposal, rubbish disposal and water point.

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
