Interesting bit of land

[Natalie Graham]

Here is another one:

 

River Severn

 

This one comes with a free house!

 

Is this part of the Severn tidal? Can you moor there?

 

It's got it's own pub?

Ive been looking at moorings on the Nene, the one advertised near Wansford has sold even though part of it is next to a water extraction point for the Rutland resevoir! So there may be some new moorings there soon, just a shame its not closer to the Haycock hotel! The layby next to it has a very bad reputation, let me put it this way if I liked men it would be a great place to moor!

I have also looked into the moorings this topic is about, good luck to whoever buys that! No planning permission,a failed application last year, almost completely silted up and the E.A said they had been there (when the previous owners wanted to dredge to sell it) and the boat moored there was "systematically stripped". The boat in the photo in the ad is still there and has been smashed to bits! Oh and it floods too!

There is a new "marina" near wansford, surrounded with new houses and not one boat! I wish they would make a law where marinas are for boats, not housing developments!! Anyone know about a planned marina near Elton? Will it be for boats or houses?! Elton is very nice and the food in the black horse pub is great!

Here are some photos of the mooring for sale in Nassington when the Nene floods. I guess the boat floated onto the bank during a previous flood.

 

 

 

The river is on the other side of the trees

It saddens me to find out that they are filling this once lovely lake with pontoons and boats.

 

Willy Watts, at Ringstead, on the other hand, now there's a proper riverside boatyard (please don't tell me he's gone all posh)!

I wasted time and effort looking into the Nassington mooring as well but I never found out about the enforcement order, what was it?

I am now very relieved I didnt buy it. I put the photos up to warn people about it flooding as the owner claimed only 40% of the land floods!
