The River Avon is navigable for 44 miles from the River Severn at Tewkesbury to Stratford upon Avon.On the journey boats have to climb some 80 feet by means of 17 locks similar to Nafford lock.
The River Avon was made navigable from as early as 1636 by William Sandys of Fladbury.But from the 1850s it suffered a slow decline and by 1945 was abandoned and in terminal decline.
CD Barnwell,encouraged by the Inlands Waterways Association formed a trust to reopen the navigation in 1962.
There is good off road parking near to the start of the footpath down to the lock.
