Your recent holiday on Weaver - Village Weaver from Aldermaston Wharf

As I mentioned overleaf, the canal is overgrown, unkempt, with dilapidated locks and a surfeit of abandoned live aboard boats. Hence there is nowhere to moor.

Thankyou for your review on our services with ABC Boat Hire. We do encourage all guests to report to the Canal and River Trust regarding conditions of the waterways.

Your recent holiday on Weaver - Village Weaver from Aldermaston Wharf

ABC and Aldermaston Wharf could not have been better. Excellent service, knowledgeable and friendly. Our problem was that we could not get to Windsor because of canal works and strikes, so headed west on the canal instead. A huge mistake. The Kennet and Avon is terribly overgrown and unkept, with dilapidated locks and loads of abandoned live aboard boats. Hence nowhere to moor.
