Canalside sites

[Thedoog]

Can anyone recommend a site adjacent to a canal, i am sure i found one last year somewhere near Braunston. But i'm damned if i can find it now, to make it worse it was at the back of a pub.

I should have said anywhere apart from the 3 magpies site we live approx 3 miles away so its a bit to near!!!

I think the Braunston one is simply called Braunston Marina. Google should find it for you

The one I think you could be after is a Caravan Club CL called Braunston Marina. It is listed under Daventry Northampton on the Website.

The C&CC site at Wolverley near Kidderminster is just accross the road from a canal. There is pub with outdoor seating there where you can watch the boats going through the lock. If our industrial heritage is for you there is Iron Bridge and the Severn Valley Railway nearby.

For anyone else who picks up on the title of this thread, try looking at www.ukcanals.net - there is a whole section on canalside caravan sites.
