Approaching by Motorway or from the East - M6, Junction 12.
Take the A5 westbound heading towards Telford. After about half a mile, on your left you will pass a lay-by followed by a speed camera (you have been warned!). The entrance to the hire base is also on the left, immediately after the speed camera road markings. If you miss it, simply continue down the road to the roundabout, go right around and approach the hire base from the opposite direction.
Approaching from the West.
Take the A5 heading Eastbound towards the M6 Motorway from the Gailey roundabout (Junction of A449/A5).
After about half a mile you will pass a Texaco petrol station on your left. On your right is a round tower house and a canal bridge parapet.
The entrance to the boatyard is also on the right, immediately after the canal bridge.
