Parking at Greensforge

[MHS]

We are wanting to leave one car in the Greensforge area of the Staffs & Worcs for 3 or 4 days.

 

A quick look on Google Maps show cars parked at the CRT sanitary station and moorings. Can someone please confirm if the gate is the BW key, and if there's sufficient space so we aren't taking a moorers spot.

 

Thanks in anticipation.

I’ve just been and checked out the car park by the sanitary station at Greensforge.

 

The lock did open using my standard BWB sanitary station key, although today the gate was already open, the lock was attached by chain to the open gate.

 

There is also a notice saying long term moorers and authorised vehicles only.

 

I don’t know how full the car park gets, but it is fairly small and could get full at a weekend.

 

As an alternative, Ashwood Marina is a very short walk away. Along the road it’s no more than five minutes walk from Greensforge lock. You could give them a ring and try to arrange leaving a car there. The car would be well away from prying eyes.

That's great. Thank you very much for checking it out.
