Additional Information
The mooring is accessed via a set of double wooden gates, which are secured with a padlock on a chain. There is one water point midway along the moorings. Other shared facilities, including a pump-out, elsan and a refuse compound are located over on the towpath side of the canal. Disabled facilities are available in the public toilet block. Further services for water, refuse disposal, pump-out and elsan can be found at Hungerford sanitary station or at Newbury Boat Company. Diesel can purchased at Newbury Boat Company. A large car park is available on the towpath side of the canal. This car park entrance is between the railway line and Bridge 75 (Kintbury Bridge). The moorings are between Bridge 75 and Bridge 76 (Vicarage Bridge). Mooring rings are installed along the length of the site, on the wooden staging platforms. 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: ///aware.library.freely
