Pubs & Restaurants
| Location | What's there | Comments | Date |
| Bidford Bridge | Frog (nee Frog & Bulrush) pub. | Moorings at the bottom of the pub garden. Pub's OK following a refurb but nothing special. | May 2008 (CA) |
| Pershore. opposite Pershore lock | Brandy Cask | Excellent pub selling home brewed ales plus food. The pub has its own mooring opposite Pershore lock which needs to be reserved in advance (it's a fair walk to the pub from the recreation ground moorings). | May 2008 (CA) |
| Offenham | Bridge Inn | Pleasant pub and good food, moorings for 1 or 2 boats | May 2008 (CA) |
| Tewkesbury | Great Grandfathers | Traditional English cooking, reasonable value. Also Abbey refectory and Abbey Tea Rooms look good. | May 2004 (CH) |
| Tewkesbury, nr. Cross | Berkeley Arms | Fine old medieval pub with good beer and good food - staff are a little eccentric (in a nice way) | May 2008 (CA) |

| Good & Bad Moorings | |||
| Stratford, opposite RSC | These moorings are much quieter than Bancroft Basin, pleasant location, good for spotting thespians across river (and swans !). | May 2008 (CA) | |
| Bidford Bridge, recreation ground | Water | Looks like a good overnight mooring | May 2004 (CH) |
| Bidford Bridge, moorings at the bottom of the garden of the Frog (nee Frog & Bulrush) pub. | These public moorings (across river from rec. ground) are handy for the pub | May 2008 (CA) | |
| Evesham | Extensive moorings alongside Workman Gardens. Rubbish disposal (+ water) at south end of moorings. | May 2008 (CA) | |
| Pershore, recreation ground | Handy for swimming pool. Also an Abbey. | May 2004 (CH) | |
| Eckington Bridge
|
Pretty, but noise from traffic and late night youths on bridge. | May 2004 (CH) | |
| Room for 2 boats in pleasant spot alongside picnic spot for car borne trippers | May 2008 (CA) | ||
| Tewkesbury, Avon lock | If you have to moor beyond the lock beware that winding just after the lock may be dangerous (stream pulls boat against bridge) - either hold front of boat with rope while winding or don't wind, just reverse out. There's a £3 fee (payable to lock keeper) for mooring anywhere near lock | May 2008 (CA) | |
| Navigation Notes | |||
| River Avon licence | 2 week licence for Upper & Lower Avon costs £44. 2 weeks is minimum available for a complete passage. | May 2004 (CH) | |
| Avon locks | Some locks are fierce when travelling upstream and fore and aft ropes really are needed. Although technically also required downstream many just use a centre rope (unless being watched by an "official") | May 2008 (CA) | |
| Evesham lock | When approaching from upstream try to use right hand side lock moorings as those on left are in the weir stream. | May 2008 (CA) | |
