Tewkesbury

After leaving our moorings, we reached the deep Pershore Lock with its ground paddle, the only one on the River.  After that, the frequency of locks decreases and the cruises in between become more lengthy.  It was about midday before we reached Tewkesbury, its proximity marked from miles away by the Abbey tower.   We found moorings easily on the lock-keepers side (£3.00 per night).  Shopping trips followed including several visits to the Berkeley Arms, a traditional 16th century pub.  The picture shows the moorings.  The lock entrance is behind the second boat.
