- There is a refuse disposal point at this site, which is adjacent to the towpath access gate. This facility is provided by and under the control of the local waterway, and does not form part of the mooring agreement. The nearest water point, refuse disposal, elsan, pump-out, toilets, showers and launderette facilities can be found at Saul Junction, approximately one and a half miles south. Llanthony Pontoons, approximately six miles north, has a water point, refuse disposal, elsan and pump-out. On the north side of Llanthony Pontoons at Harbour House, just inside Gloucester Docks, there is also a shared toilet facility. There is no car park at this site. However, there is a small lay-by in the lane that runs alongside the canal. A boat repair yard with crane & dry dock facilities is also available at Saul Junction. The local village of Frampton-on-Severn, approximately three miles south, has a local store, a post office and two pubs. There are supermarkets, post office, banks, pubs and restaurants in Quedgeley, approximately three and a half miles north. Diesel, petrol and gas can be purchased from A P Fuels, which is between Sandfield Bridge and Fretherne Bridge, approximaely two and a half miles south. This is a leisure site and is determined by us to be a mooring site for the storage of boats between leisure use, customers may well spend weekends on this site, and occasionally longer periods, but it is not sold as, or intended to be suitable for long term residential use. This site does not have local authority planning consent for residential use, neither does it have the level of facilities and service expected of such a mooring. As such the offer that we have is only intended to meet the needs of a leisure boater. What3Words: ///goats.picked.smoke
