Set at the picturesque Hawkesbury Junction—locally known as Sutton Stop—The Pump House Moorings enjoy a prime location where the Coventry Canal meets the Oxford Canal in Warwickshire. Built in 1802, this historic junction remains one of the busiest and most characterful spots on the canal network, offering a lively and welcoming atmosphere for boaters.
The Pump House Moorings are located on the Coventry Canal and form a linear mooring site approximately 275 metres in length, providing space for up to 16 vessels along the quiet off-side bank. With its rich canal heritage, charming surroundings, and strong sense of community, this is a wonderful place to moor.
