About Glascote Basin

Our Glascote site is located on the Coventry Canal in the heart of the Midlands network. We’re on the popular ‘Warwickshire Ring', providing great cruising opportunities and easy connections to other canals.

The mooring available is strictly for leisure use only.

We can accommodate boats of all lengths, with the minimum charge being for a 50 foot narrowboat. Every mooring comes with an electric hook-up and a water supply.

We are situated within easy reach of the A5 and the M42, less than a mile from Tamworth town centre, and a level 15 minutes’ walk from Tamworth railway station.

There is a parking space within the vicinity of your boat, so you can load or unload your boat easily, and leave your vehicle on-site when cruising.

Our fully equipped working boatyard offers repair and maintenance services, and access to essential facilities like fuel, pump-outs, and an elsan point.

If you’re interested in joining us, please get in touch to discuss availability or to add your name to the waiting list.

Temporary moorings are charged at £15 per night.
