The 250 berth marina is situated near Seven Meadows Road Bridge in Stratford, Roger Fox Reports.

Services

When completed it will have electricity and water to the berths together with a laundry and shower block for its moorers, with Neil Warren of developer Geomac telling Stratford Observer:

“This exclusive leisure boat marina provides customers the chance to moor their boats close to a popular tourist destination whilst providing access to some spectacular cruising routes.

“We are very much looking forward to working alongside the Avon Navigation Trust throughout this project and to develop a close relationship which will see Geomac create a first-class marina in a first-class area.”

Flood safe

The site it is stated is in a flood-safe area of river and is being constructed by Land & Water and administrated by the Avon Navigation Trust it believing there is a demand for this type of facility in the Stratford area.
