Mooring, a good safe quay with very limited space, best out of season and at least after the last passanger boat runs for the day if using the outer quay. A number of spaces for smaller boats on the inside. Stream runs at upto 2Kn at springs , more in times of flood. The River offers a number of anch possibilities, opposite the town and further up stream on the same side as the town above the shipyard
