Avon Canoe Ferry Jetty.

Between New Quarry, Avon Gorge and Quarry 3 Leigh Woods.

Whether you are a raver or a camper, the River Avon downstream
from the suspension bridge is a formidable barrier.
Occassional, ferry services have been offered for a low fee to
stranded revellers.

A hazel jetty has been constructed and staked to the mud bank
to lengthen the operating time of the canoe ferry.

This jetty is currently usable from 01:30 before to 01:30
after high water.

How to make a mud bridging hazel jetty.
