Wootton Rivers L1 Leisure

Wootton Rivers is a pretty village in Wiltshire composed almost entirely of timber-framed thatched houses. It's location on the Kennet & Avon Canal provides boaters with a good location from which to explore a variety of attractions. These include the historic market town of Marlborough, the ancient sites of Stonehenge and Avebury, the Neolithic mound of Silbury Hill, Savernake Forest and Hungerford (well known for its antique shops).

Also nearby is Devizes, a thriving market town and home to Wadworth Brewery with a visitor centre and brewery tours. It is also home to the famous flight of 29 locks at Caen Hill.

The mooring site is approximately 166m long and provides space for up to 9 vessels moored against the towpath.
