What to bring with you
All our boats are well equipped, but there are a few things that will be useful to bring with you, waterproof clothing, wildlife books and binoculars if you have them. There is a basic first aid kit on board, but you may find it useful to bring items such as basic medicines, sun cream and plasters.
Groceries
We are unable to provide a shopping service however www.tesco.com and www.sainsburys.co.uk both deliver to the marina. If you are placing an online grocery order please can you add the Boat Name with the Fox Narrowboats Marina address and arrange a delivery slot between 12noon and 2pm. Your groceries will then be on board your boat in time for your arrival.
Travelling by Rail
The nearest railway station is in March itself and is approx. 2 miles from our base. If you require a taxi there is a taxi rank at the station. For those travelling from overseas we can arrange private hire collection from all UK airports.
