Situated on the Tring summit of the Grand Union Canal, Cowroast offers moorings for 17 boats in picturesque rural surroundings. The location is an ideal base from which to explore the Southern Grand Union, being just a few days cruising from London and the Thames to the south and the Midlands to the north.
This site is approximately 285m long and provides space for up to 17 boats moored on the off-side.
The site has recently been upgraded with a electric and water supplied to each berth via a smart meter bollard. One shared water point between each two berths.
