Thanks Tony and Andy I am wondering about leaving my boat (18ft narrow cruiser) there overnight. The reason for choosing that side of the river is that it's a 15-minute drive home towards Abingdon, after a day's cruising from Abingdon.
I have read the information on the web about the poor state of the slipway on that bank, and about the pub on the other side, but there is nothing about casual mooring. I was hoping there might be somewhere to moor near the slipway or the ex-ferry.
