We have trot moorings with pontoon access for dinghies. Craft will float for approx 5 hours on most tides. We now have mooring sites available from £230 per annum. Dinghies can also be based at a pontoon by our yard in an extended access area for use to attend craft on our moorings or the river Axe.
Pontoon moorings also available on Tidal river and our Marine Lake for long or short term use. Can be used for week ending or longer periods of stay, all facilities available, toilets, showers, washrooms and cafe on site. Suitable craft are occasionally available for sale that can be adapted for the above purpose.
Tidal access to the Bristol Channel by the River Axe and the Brean Down peninsula to all local ports, Cardiff, Barry, Swansea, Porlock Weir, Watermouth and Ifracombe. Low tide walks start here to Weston beach, 5 minutes walk, or Brean Down with Fort, the local hill with historic Church or the Mendip Hills through the adjacent Nature Reserve.
Under guidance, the Government has announced easing some of its lockdown regulations. This now means:
Stay at home as much as possible
Work from home if you can
Limit contact with other people
Keep your distance if you go out (2 metres apart where possible)
Wash your hands regularly
Self-isolate if you or anyone in your household has symptoms.
With this in mind, we shall be reopening the Marine Centre on a limited basis from Wednesday13th May 2020 and look forward to welcoming people coming to perform maintenance and security checks on their boats.
Please be aware we are not completely open, this is for essential maintenance only and please use common sense when it comes to travelling distances.
We will be providing regular updates about some services including the availability of relaunching (subject to tides) and red diesel services over the next few weeks, this will be on our Facebook page and on the Marine Centre tab of our website www.uphillwharf.co.uk
Certain restrictions to customers attending their boats will remain in place for some time to come so please bear with us and be patient when at the Marina.
Toilet facilities will remain closed for the time being. However the sink area in the front storage yard will be open for handwashing, and soap will be provided.
The office will remain closed, however we will be around on site as we have been since this began.
Please park as close to your own boat as possible. We will still be moving around the yard with the cradle and potentially moving boats ready for relaunch.
Please keep yourselves to yourselves with a minimum 2m distance.
Please wear gloves when possible when touching anything that belongs to Uphill Wharf Campsite and Marine Centre, this includes the entrance gate.
The vehicle gate will be unlocked at 9.30am and locked at 5.30pm each evening.
Where possible, please phone 01934 418617 and leave a message to let us know you will be coming onto the site.
We have installed 5 CCTV cameras around the yards and pontoons and we need to keep track of who is supposed to be here.
Please look out for further updates and please do not assume that operations have and or will return to normal immediately.
While we understand the reasoning behind the Government's decision to ease lock down rules in the way it has, we share your frustration about not being able to get out onto the water just yet. We are waiting for any leisure boating changes from the port authorities and will keep you updated with any changes.
When you visit, please make sure you adhere to the guidelines above. If you need to make a booking or have any specific questions, or want to discuss a boat movement please contact us. We ask that you please give us as much notice as you can and we'll try our absolute best to fulfil your request.
It’s been a challenging few months for everyone; we thank you for all your patience and understanding.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
With best wishes
Robin and Katy Gameson
