Selby Lock Moorings are located within this historic north Yorkshire town at the end of the Selby Canal where it joins the tidal River Ouse.
Stretching over eleven and a half miles, the Selby Canal is a quiet backwater from the Aire & Calder Navigation. Apart from being popular with boaters, it also attracts a high number of walkers as the towpath forms part of the Trans Pennine Trail.
The town itself offers an array of cultural and leisure attractions, including Selby Abbey, the town hall, local nature reserves and a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants.
The mooring is approximately 200m in length and currently provides space for up to 13 vessels moored on the off-side of the canal. Please note that short term permits apply to this site.

IMPORTANT NOTES: All customer items must be stored aboard boats.
Rings may be shared with neighbouring boats to best manage the water space.
The use of fenders along the bank side may be necessary.
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.
