Parking

Parking Information
Limpley Stoke: from the A36 turn towards Bradford on Avon at the traffic lights on the Limpley Stoke viaduct, go under the railway bridge and over the river; park in the lay-by on the left (busy) or, if full, use the gate on the right just after the river and park just inside the field to the left of the gate (padlocked chain with two combination locks — the club’s is the newer push-button lock; code from the club). Avoncliff: limited free parking, gets very busy; access to the river via the station platform and climbing the fence. Older club page: Avoncliff car park alongside the canal basin and aqueduct (via Winsley and Turleigh); access via the steps at the rear of the railway halt; fishing starts at the fence just left of the access point.
