Hawkesbury Junction, affectionately known as Sutton Stop, is a picturesque and historically significant spot where the Coventry Canal meets the Oxford Canal in Warwickshire. Built in 1802, this bustling junction remains one of the busiest and most iconic meeting points on the canal network—rich in character and full of boating activity.
The linear mooring site is located on the Oxford Canal and stretches approximately 210 metres, offering space for up to nine vessels moored along the quiet off-side bank. It’s a fantastic spot for boaters who enjoy being close to a vibrant canal community while still enjoying a peaceful setting.
For added peace of mind, the site is secured with fencing and a padlocked gate. Access keys are available exclusively to berth holders for a refundable deposit of £50, which is returned upon key return with a valid receipt.
Whether you’re stopping for a while or looking for a longer stay, Hawkesbury Junction offers the perfect mix of heritage, convenience, and canal-side charm.

- The site is approximately 150 metres from Sutton Stop service building where the listed facilities can be found. The car park is adjacent to the service building and has limited space. Please be aware, the aforementioned facilities and parking are provided by and under the control of the local waterway, they do not form part of the mooring agreement. Bedworth town centre offers a good selection of shops, supermarkets, banks, a post office, fast food outlets and a library. There is also a public house close to the site. 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: ///speeds.chop.booth
