Additional information

Lots of gongoozlers! You will need to purchase a River Avon license before going out onto the river (even if it's only for mooring!) Mooring info: Good pontoon moorings, but gets full at busy times, and no elsan (have to go to the boat yard across the road).

The CRT rubbish disposal point has been restricted to the business boats only. No access for other boaters.
