Bridgwater Marina

Bridgwater Marina occupies the historic inner dock basin of Bridgwater Docks in Somerset, constructed between 1837 and 1841 as part of the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal extension.

The site sits within the Bridgwater Central Area & Dock Conservation Area and retains notable historic structures, including the Grade II listed Harbour Master's House and original 19th-century warehouses.

The marina connects to both the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal and the tidal River Parrett via a bascule bridge and lock system.

However, the docks are currently non-operational for boating; boats were removed from the basin in 2021 and the facility remains closed to visiting craft while regeneration plans are under consideration.

The Bridgwater and Taunton Canal itself remains accessible to portable and trailable craft, and canoeists can approach the docks area with an appropriate licence.
