- Additional Information
- The water point on the towpath before the start of the mooring site area is for the use of all boaters. The elsan disposal facility can be found along the access track, off the main road, located past the approach to the moorings. There are pump out and refuse & recycling facilities are at Kingswood Junction, approximately five miles south. The nearest refuse & recycling point north of Knowle is at Henwood Yard, where a new bin compound has been created, which is approx. 2.5 miles away. This bin compound will only be accessible by boat, as is on the offside in a secure Canal and River Trust Yard. Mooring rings are installed at this site and are spaced at 5 metre intervals. There is restricted lay-by parking spaces for up to 5 cars next to the old lock keepers cottage, near the mooring site access by the bottom lock. Spaces cannot be guaranteed or reserved. This is a leisure site and is determined by us to be a mooring site for the storage of boats between leisure use, customers may well spend weekends on this site, and occasionally longer periods, but it is not sold as, or intended to be suitable for long term residential use. This site does not have local authority planning consent for residential use, neither does it have the level of facilities and service expected of such a mooring. As such the offer that we have is only intended to meet the needs of a leisure boater. What3Words: ///radio.solved.shed
