Hilperton Marina or Wessex Narrowboats Wharf, from New Parson's
Bridge.
|
|
|
The new wharf serving Hilperton marina and Wessex Narrowboats has the
usual facilities. The office is flown out over the canal, with mooring
underneath. Not a traditional design, but not bad.

Signs on the canal are laden with icons; and every icon has a text
explanation because they don't make immediate visual sense. (It's not
just canals that have fallen for icons.)
