Belle aire de pique-nique à côté du vieux moulin sur la jonction du canal et de la rivière. Aucune restriction, aucun service. Signal fone adéquat. Marina à quelques centaines de mètres sur la route en direction de la ville, un peu plus loin se trouve une longue halte routière. Route assez fréquentée mais relativement calme la nuit. Très jolie petite ville avec toutes les commodités habituelles.

Beautiful picnic area next to old Mill on canal & river junction. No restrictions, no services. Adequate fone signal. Marina a few hundred metres up the road towards town, a little further is a long roadside lay-by. Fairly busy road but relatively quiet at night. Very nice little town with all the usual amenities.

Schöner Picknickplatz neben der alten Mühle am Kanal- und Flussknotenpunkt. Keine Einschränkungen, keine Dienstleistungen. Angemessenes Telefonsignal. Marina ein paar hundert Meter die Straße hinauf in Richtung Stadt, ein Stück weiter liegt ein langer Rastplatz am Straßenrand. Ziemlich stark befahrene Straße, aber nachts relativ ruhig. Sehr schöne kleine Stadt mit allen üblichen Annehmlichkeiten.

Bonito merendero junto al antiguo molino en el cruce del canal y el río. Sin restricción, sin servicio. Señal adecuada. Marina a unos cientos de metros en la carretera al pueblo, un poco más adelante hay una larga zona de descanso. Carretera bastante transitada pero relativamente tranquila por la noche. Pueblo pequeño muy bonito con todas las comodidades habituales.

    Great spot for lunch, very quiet. Note no direct path along side river for dog walking from parking, but country park up the road.

    Didn’t stay over night. Stopped to admire the mill in the sunshine. Nice spot. Roadside lay-by, some potholes/puddles. Phone signal ok. Did use the water tap next to the moorings (if facing mill from road, to the left of the locks).

    Lovely little spot right next to the lock. Next to a main road but very quiet overnight. Had a leisurely morning watching boats come through the lock with a cuppa…kept us entertained for a few hours! Everyone was very friendly. No bins so take your litter home with you. Country park with toilets open 8am to 8pm is a short 10 minute walk away.

    Lovely spot next to a busy road. However the road is quiet at night and we had a good night's sleep.

    Lovely little grass area next to a lock. It is next to a road that's quite busy in the day but it was very quiet overnight. Felt very safe and no pressure to move in the morning, so just watched the birds over a cuppa. 4 stars as no bins or privacy for a nature wee
