There is a mooring (two small boats only) just by the bridge at the head of the lock on the nearside (mainland). It's owned by the caravan site - fee charged, but I would only recommend it as a last resort.

A better mooring is in the weir stream at the head of the lock (not too noisy as it's the overflow weir). proper bollards, and I think it may have 'leccy. You have to book in advance with the lockie.

The moorings on the downstream end of the lock Island as mentioned by Apollo are fine provided you are near to the tail of the island as further up the bank is high and you have to scramble up.


The other two (yes two) islands are Harleyford moorings, so keep off.

Harleyford does have a visitor mooring near the large footbridge upstream of Temple. Probably about £20 per night and would include use of showers etc. You could also use Showboat for food (bring your own booze (?)). Harleyford is very nice, so the extra facilities and the ambience are worth paying for...

Somebody said don't put 'phone numbers in posts, so you'll have to Google Harleyford and viisitthames for the lockie's number. Best to book a space soonest.
