The site has water and electric on the visitor moorings, and a laundrette.

The Cape Of Good Hope pub not far from the Saltisford Arm has good moorings both on the towpath side and on the pub side.

Cost is under £4 per pint.

That is true but they are 48 hour moorings, and there are only a handful

We have stayed on the Arm for a couple of nights, and very nice it was too.

 

Gas,coal and Pump out was less expensive than the prices we were used to too (as well)

Our boat has been to the Saltisford Arm - it says so on the plaque on the hatch doors. So we have to go there sometime. Thanks for the reminder!

I guess 48 hours is all you'll need for a weekend! We stayed there twice, once outside the pub, once across the lock from it, had a very good time (mainly in the pub!) on both occasions.

We called in last June. Very pretty it was too. Unfortunately the little shop and every where else was shut, so we just winded and carried on our way.

What was the arm's original purpose? Is it a stub of a once longer canal?

It was the terminus of the Warwick and Birmingham Canal with a basin near Sainsbury. Coal was carried to gasworks and factories in Saltisford.

We stayed overnight and also left the boat there for a few days...can recommend it!....and its only 5 mins walk from Warwick Parkway station and a short walk to Supermarkets and town centre......really nice place!

I understand Sainsburys was built on the basin.....
