River moorings and marinas with walk-ashore berths in the South West
Non-tidal rivers and river navigations such as the Thames above Teddington, the Severn, Nene, Great Ouse and Trent: marinas, boatyards and riverbank moorings for cruisers and narrowboats. Berths you step off onto a pontoon, quay or bank: no tender, no rowing out to a buoy. Easier for loading, for a dog, and for getting aboard after dark.
