For almost 5 years, Wasing has been operating Frouds Bridge Marina under a lease agreement. We are extremely happy to announce that in August 2022 we purchased the marina and are now developing exciting plans to enhance its facilities and the services it provides, whilst preserving the peace and tranquillity that it is famed for.
Frouds Bridge Marina was established in 1997, steadily growing in size and popularity thereafter, and nowadays can accommodate 160 narrowboats over 9,000 feet of wooden jetties. The marina is set within calm and peaceful grounds joining the Kennet and Avon canals and rivers. The marina is bursting with wildlife including several varieties of fish, herons, cormorants, moor hens, otters, badgers, mink, water voles, birds of prey and around 10 different species of bat. We strive to balance the needs of the boats whilst promoting green habitat for flora and fauna.
The first major addition to come to Frouds Bridge in coming months will be the introduction of a floating dry dock & paint tent and the improvement of car parking facilities with the introduction of electric car charging points.
“I am delighted to announce the official purchase of Frouds Bridge Marina by Wasing Estate. This is an extremely exciting time for us as we grow and improve our facilities. We are very pleased to continue welcoming both new faces and long-standing patrons within our boating community.” – Matt Stroud, Marina Manager
