Additional information

The basin (200m beyond the Wharf) has 32 berths which form part of the 48hr visitor mooring facilities in Llangollen. It is also the limit of navigation / winding point for boats, turning either in the entrance or in the basin itself.

All Llangollen mooring is subject to a fee (£6 per day in 2017), which includes Individual water and electricity supply points. The 48 hr limit applies across the combined moorings, the other part being on-line visitor moorings between the Narrow Sections. There are no other moorings at Llangollen.

Mooring permits are available from either the C&RT hut at the on-line visitor moorings or, closer to the basin, the Llangollen Wharf shop. You get there by taking the path from just behind the basin entrance, up the slope to the east and then turning right along the road to come down over Bridge 45. This is also the shortest access route down into the town and all its facilities.

The rubbish disposal and recycling point is the other way along the path behind the basin, just beyond the far side of all the berths.

Watkin & Williams Ltd (Llangollen Hardware Shop) will deliver coal and propane gas to the basin for free. 6 Berwyn Street, Tel. 01978 860 652.

 
Navigational Notes

As you enter the basin the four moorings on the far left hand corner are for five day moorings only. The sign says you have to pay for five days up front.
