The responses from Martin & Mike are spot on. The moorings above the top lock are good, but well used. There is a set of steps leading off near the lock moorings which take you down under the railway and straight onto North Parade - only 5 mins walk and you're on Pulteney Bridge looking down on those who paid a tenner. You can also usually moor in the pound between Locks 10 and 11 which is hardly any further to walk. There are precious few spots to moor on the Avon between Bath and Bristol Harbour, so reckon to do that on one go, if you can. Well worth the trip. Good mooring advice from the City Council here: http://tinyurl.com/32ov392 ...which includes a link - near the bottom - to the Harbour dues [not cheap]. Have a good trip.
