The Becky’s Mooring. with updated info and photo's

The Barge Becky is moored on the Chelmer & Blackwater Canal at Heybridge Basin, on the opposite side to the towpath and next to a large lake that is now a nature reserve. The area is a haven for migrating and roosting birds and a favourite spot for bird watchers. There are two yacht clubs nearby with safe tidal sailing also canoeing and kayaking on the canal. There are also some fine walks along the towpath, around the lake or along the sea wall. For those who enjoy fishing the canal has a very good reputation and sea fishing trips can be had nearby.

Although the Basin has no shops there are two good pubs. There are shops a 20min walk along the canal or a Large Tesco accessible by dingy with moorings alongside their car-park. Both pubs serve good food and there is also a café on the seawall.
