The River
The navigable section for part of the river is approximately 2 and a quarter miles long and runs from Cleveland Bridge a quarter of a mile downstream from the Boating Station to Bathampton 2 miles upstream.
Our section of the river includes a variety of businesses, including the Bathwick Boatman Restaurant located on our site, Pulteney Cruisers in the town centre and the recently restored Cleveland Pools further upstream.
An abundance of wildlife can be found on the River Avon, including kingfishers herons, mallards, moorhens and if you’re really lucky you may spot an otter.
