THS on the canal network? (1 Viewer)

[Drexxer]

As per title, are there any current THS sites on the canal network, nice location and a nearby pub would be a bonus

 

[Abacist]

There is a CL fairly close to the flight of locks in Wiltshire if that helps. I’ll see if I can the details if you are interested

Another very pleasant canal side site is Home Farm CL at Stoke Bruerne. Two very pleasant pubs within half a mile and an interesting museum. Indian restaurant and cafe too.

No EHU though.

There are often THS's and Club Meets at Lyme View Marina on the Macclesfield Canal, Nr Poynton.

It's a couple of miles walk into Poynton where there are several pubs inc. a Wetherspoons.

A nice quiet location despite being a few miles east of Manchester Airport.

The site is in the field where the word Marina is in the image above. There is a bit of hardstanding at the Marina for MHs if the field is wet.

Have you downloaded the Out and About app?
You can do a search by area and also the THS locations can be shown in map view.

Lovely spot right alongside the canal. Have stayed there a few times whilst en route.
I heard later that the pub adjacent to the CL ('The Navigation'?) allows overnighting in their car park but I haven't stayed in it.

If it keeps raining at the Porthmadog one then you will have your own private canal outside your van. Nice and sunny at home but two weeks to go here yet.

Ah yes, there's also The Barge Inn beside the K&A canal at Honeystreet. Some very eclectic (O.K. a bit 'Alternative' - guitars, brown bread and espadrilles, beads and Dreamcatchers) customers among the clientele which is said to be the HeadquartersQ of the crop circle movement.

Ty Mawr near Colemere, Shropshire is a nice little C&CC site. Field backs onto the Shropshire canal. Pub is a mile or 2 walk.

Braunston Marina near Daventry has a CL. At the heart of the canal network and close to several decent pubs.

That was my last stop on my most recent trip. Had a nice steak at the Navigators to round off the break. The Navigators pub car park could be a bit tight for a big van when it's busy.

There’s a THS starting tomorrow (15 - 27 August) at Halsall near Southport. It’s close to the Leeds - Liverpool Canal, Ormskirk and Southport.

The Hand and Dagger Salwick, right next to the Lancaster Canal and has waste and hooks ups plus great pub.

Er is it Bradford on Avon where the bridge is closed to vehicles until further notice owing to structural damage by an Uber?

Second this one was here last week

The Sharpness Sports & Social Club is close to the start of the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal and takes motorhomes and caravans all year round as well as hosting the odd rally. The price was £10 last time we stayed and I doubt it will have gone up much, if at all. It's a great location with interesting bits to look at around Sharpness docks and easy walking or cycling along the canal to the Purton Hulks ships graveyard and further on to Slimbridge Wildlife & Wetlands Centre.

I think that is Bidford Upon Avon, near Stratford Upon Avon

Likewise. Decent mooring and pub. The CL always looked decent too.
