Aynho Moorings are set along a tranquil, rural stretch of the Oxford Canal, just a short distance from the historic market town of Banbury. Surrounded by open countryside and rich in canal-side charm, this location offers boaters a peaceful retreat with the convenience of nearby town amenities.
It’s an ideal base for exploring the fascinating heritage of Banbury, with its medieval streets, traditional markets, and welcoming pubs. The winding course of the South Oxford Canal also offers scenic cruising through some of England’s most picturesque landscapes, making it a perfect spot for both short stays and extended adventures.
The site is approximately 185m long and provides space for up to 11 vessels moored against the towpath.

- Additional Information
- Facilities including water, pump-out, diesel, bottled gas, and refuse disposal may be available by arrangement with Aynho Wharf, conveniently located just north of Bridge 190 and within 200 metres of the mooring site. Additional services such as boat repairs are also offered, along with a small shop stocking provisions and chandlery items. Please note that there is no designated car parking at this site; boaters will need to make their own arrangements for vehicle access. The mooring site lies directly opposite private off-side moorings and benefits from a towpath running the full length of the site. This is bordered on either side by a grass strip, providing a pleasant and accessible setting for all users. 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: ///craftsman.frames.notion
