Eastington Slipway

Eastington Slipway sits on the Stroudwater Canal between Pike Lock and Blunder Lock, accessed just off the A419 roundabout near the village of Eastington, not far from the M5.

The slope to the canal is a gentle incline suitable for most trailers, with parking available for vehicles and trailers. A Watermate key is required to use the slipway.

From here, boaters and paddlers can access roughly a mile of canal heading eastward, passing through Blunder and Newtown Locks before reaching the fixed bridge at Bond's Mill.

The slipway serves as a convenient entry point to the western section of the restored canal and is considered a good introduction for canoeists and kayakers exploring the Cotswold Canals.
