Please be advised that Lock 11 will be inaccessible to boating customers travelling from the River Avon on the following dates:

  • Friday 5th June
  • Sunday 7th June

This restriction is due to adjacent towpath resurfacing works and ongoing safety concerns, which have required additional security measures to be put in place at Lock 11.

Please note that the Trust does not have sufficient volunteer capacity on Fridays and Saturdays to assist boats through the lock during this period.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding.

You are welcome to contact us at [email protected] or 03030 404040 if you would like to discuss this information with a member of our Customer Service Team.
