About our Canal Moorings
Located at the foot of the Caen Hill Locks near Devizes, our marina offers convenient access from across the region. We are just 30 minutes from Junction 17 of the M4, around two hours from Southampton, three hours from London, and approximately nine hours by boat from Bath.
Foxhangers’ Moorings on the Kennet & Avon Canal sit peacefully among open farmland, accessed from the A361 via a long private farm track. The site is highly sought after for its security, tranquillity, and the convenience of parking spaces located close to the boats. Vehicular access is straightforward, with a short three‑minute drive down a stone road leading directly to the moorings.
Devizes town centre with all the amenities you’d expect from a vibrant market town—is only a few minutes away. Larger supermarkets and additional services can be found in nearby Melksham and Trowbridge. To explore more of what’s around us, take a look at our our interactive map.
The small marina basin has 22 berths and there is only a limited amount of Canalside mooring. All berths have water and electric.
The Privilege Canalside Moorings are deemed most suitable for wide beam vessels, the grassed bank edge although piled has a solid wood rubbing board that your boat will rest against. The price is in line with the current market rate for wide-beam moorings, however, any type of canal boat is welcome on these. Regrettably, our marina basin is not appropriate for boats wider than 7 foot.
