Aldermaston Wharf

Sue there are no visitor moorings at Aldermaston Wharf, we sometimes moor on the towpath below the lock and after the swing bridge but the people in the houses complain a lot so we don't stay for long.

One home owner became very irate and threatened to call the police when we moored. He had been assured by his estate agents that when he purchased his house it included the stretch of towpath in front of his garden. I phoned to check with the Canal and River Trust, when they stopped laughing they said the towpath definitely still belonged to them.

Above the lock the canal is too narrow for us to moor although narrow boats can moor there.

There is a small canal museum at the Wharf it is above the tea rooms where we have stopped for breakfast occasionally.
