Boehill Slipway

Boehill Slipway is the public boat launch point for the Grand Western Canal in Devon, located near Sampford Peverell close to M5 Junction 27 (postcode EX16 7EG).

Built to Inland Waterways Association and Canal & Rivers Trust guidelines for trail-boats, it restricts vessels to a maximum of 7. 5 metres in length and 2. 2 metres in beam.

Once launched, the canal has no locks, so those dimensions are set solely by the slipway itself.

Boaters must obtain a permit before launching; these are available from Sampford Peverell Spar Shop, which also provides the combination for the slipway barrier padlock.

There is no parking beside the slipway, but an arrangement exists for cars and trailers to park in a nearby field between the allotments and the access track.
