Description

This year, winter moorings will run from 1 November 2015 until 29 February 2016 for boaters who have chosen to purchase winter mooring permits.

At each winter mooring site, a mooring restriction will be in place from 26 October 2015 to 29 February 2016 (inclusive). The mooring restriction will come into place one week before the start of the winter moorings period to help manage the transition into the winter mooring period, and boaters will be welcome on site between 1 November 2015 and 29 February 2016 according to their permits.

A range of winter moorings sites are available nationally, with some situated at visitor mooring sites and the rest at designated towpath sites. Where a winter mooring is part of a visitor mooring site, only 50% of the site will be winter moorings and the other half of the site will still be available throughout the winter period for visitors.

If there is available space at a winter mooring site, visitors may use the mooring for the relevant stay time. If a permit-holder arrives at the site they will have priority, and those not in possession of a winter mooring permit must be prepared to move off the site.

Winter moorings went on sale on 1 October on our boat licensing site. For more general information on winter moorings, please visit our website.
