Information about the place

The nearest place in the direction of Wadenhoe Lock No 24 is Perio Lock Weir Exit No 2 (Channel leading to the Weir); 6¾ furlongs away.

There is no access to the towpath here.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. There is a mooring charge for a night (£6 as at Summer 2024) or a short stay (£3). The farmer is pretty keen and will be asking for his fee within minutes of your arrival. He also owns the land and charges for mooring for quite a distance downstream from the bridge. RADAR key gate available for disabled access from the downriver mooring field.

Facilities: water point.

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
