Find Us
For the safety of our members and volunteers we are regulating access to our premises to reduce virus spread, so please do not visit without an invitation. If you have enquiries about joining the club, please contact us using the options on the JOIN US page.
If you are looking for access to the river, please note that there is no public vehicular access to our clubhouse, but licensed boats can be launched wherever a road crosses the river, including the Pig Lane crossing at Twyford Lock, where there is a car park, part of which is available to members of the public making leisure use of the river. See Waterside Stortford Town Trail.

Styleman's Lane, Bishop's Stortford.
The clubhouse can be reached on foot/bike by following the towpath along the river southwards from Bishops Stortford. It is next to Southmill Lock, about 1 mile from the town centre. If approaching the clubhouse along the river from the south (Pig Lane / Twyford Lock), please make sure you are on the towpath on the east side of the river. To drive to the club, leave Bishop's Stortford southwards on the A1060 (Hallingbury Road). Styleman's Lane is a very small turning on the right, just after the "Welcome to Essex" and national speed limit signs, and just before Darlington's Aggregates. For navigation purposes only, the turning from the main road is located at postcode CM22 7QJ. The clubhouse is beside the river at the very end of a private single-track lane which runs behind Darlington's. Continue through the gates to the small private car park immediately beside the clubhouse
IMPORTANT: Follow the directions above rather than the ones given by GoogleMaps - despite what GoogleMaps thinks, there really is no public footpath from Twyford Road / Twyfordbury Lane and you cannot get across the river from there.
If you will need an accessible parking space for your visit, please do ask for one to be reserved for you. You may wish to review the Access Checklist for our premises.

Public Transport
Public transport is relatively limited on a Sunday when much of the activity at the club takes place.
Train and Bus: The clubhouse is one mile along the towpath from Bishops Stortford train station, which is on the mainline from London Liverpool Street to Cambridge and Stansted Airport. The train station has step-free access, lifts and assistance available from the staff (including Sundays) - see the station weblink above for more details. Most of the town's bus services pass though the bus interchange next to the train station. A detailed planner for bus and train journeys can be found on the Traveline website.
Taxi: There is a taxi rank at the main station entrance. One well-established local company offering a 24/7 service is Associated Taxis (01279 655666)
