As this waterway is land locked, it
has very few boats, this provides an absolutely Stressless,
and secluded haven to loose yourself for a while, leaving
everyday life behind. For those who would prefer more
activity, this is not far away either, for the West
Country has an abundance of attractions, many right
on our doorstep. You can walk to some, and for others,
moor up and take a day away by taxis, bus or train,
or return to the moorings for your car its never far
away.
