Enslow is a small village situated 11 miles north of Oxford. The moorings at Enslow Wharf are a perfect starting point for boaters wishing to explore the stunning Oxfordshire and south Northamptonshire countryside or connect to the River Thames at Oxford.
The site is 305 metres long and provides space for up to 15 vessels moored against the towpath.

- Additional Information
- The nearest Elsan and rubbish disposal, pump out (chargeable), toilet and drinking water facilities are at Thrupp Canal Cruising Club moorings, approx. 2.5 miles south of the site.
There is no designated car parking so moorers must make their own arrangements.
The site has a crushed stone towpath and grass verge running along the full length.
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.
