Location of waters

All the Club's waters are located within the Cotswold Water Park in the area nearest to the villages of Ashton Keynes and Somerford Keynes, close to Cirencester. The easiest point of access is to find the A419 road, which runs between Cirencester and Swindon. If approaching from the M5, leave the motorway at junction 11a, turning onto the A417, which joins the A419 at Cirencester. If approaching from the M4, leave the motorway at junction 15, turning onto the A419 and head towards Cirencester.

Turn off the A419 at the 'Spine Road Junction' on to the B4696 (Spine Road), signed Ashton Keynes/South Cerney/Cerney Wick, go past the Cotswold Water Park Gateway Centre on the left and follow the signs for the Cotswold Country Park (formerly Keynes Country Park). Refer MAP 1.

Follow the track, bearing left for Manorbrook lake and right (alongside the river) for Thamesmead 'A', 'B' and 'C', which are all on your left. The stretch of the Upper River Thames is on the right, downstream from the bridge over the farm track, until the first gate before Thamesmead 'C' lake. Refer MAP 2.
