River Avon showers

[algwyn]

Does anyone know if there are any boater showers on the River Avon please

Not really replying to my own post lol just thought I would add that we are presently at Eckington Wharf heading towards Stratford

I don’t think so.  This is the list of facilities on the Avon, published by ANT

We're at Cleeve Prior at the moment, heading upstream. In the orange here at the moment but I think the levels are going down.

Don't forget that lock 54 (penultimate above Bancroft Basin) is closed today for gate repairs.

There are no showers provided by ANT as such. However, Hampton Ferry Marina/Raphaels at Evesham are geared up to provide showers for boaters. They can contacted at Hampton Ferry Boat Lane, Evesham WR11 4BP (01386 45460/442458; www.hamptonferry.co.uk). Also a laundrette.

We're now in Stratford and the river is back to normal- well in the green.
