Guide To Braunston Marina

Lovely marina,still a working yard but also a striking picturesque place full of history

I had an issue with my engine overheating while moored just outside this marina and they sorted it same day. Ian and Andy were great, and all the staff here seemed really friendly and helpful. We also got a pump out, gas, diesel and coal while we were there, everything straight forward and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

Braunston Marina in the winter months transforms into a photographer’s dream. The stark beauty of the landscape, with its frosted trees, icy canals, and the possibility of snow-dusted scenery, creates a truly unique and captivating atmosphere.

For me the highlight of our visit was having the opportunity to speak to the wonderful teams restoring the canal boats. They are so dedicated and so passionate about keeping this piece of English heritage alive and thriving. Well worth the time spent admiring all the craftsmanship and having a chat. There is no charge for parking unless you are staying overnight and it’s a ten minute walk uphill to the village to use the pub or tea room for refreshments.

Great campervan stopover, £25 including EHU. Shower (£2 token) and toilets clean, plenty of local pubs, great canalside walks. Will return.
