Moorings on the Broads, lakes and lochs with walk-ashore berths
The Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, the Lake District, Scottish lochs and inland reservoirs: boatyard staithes, lake moorings and swinging buoys. Berths you step off onto a pontoon, quay or bank: no tender, no rowing out to a buoy. Easier for loading, for a dog, and for getting aboard after dark.
