The Parting to Gloucester Lock

The 3.5 mile 'cut' north of Gloucester from the River Severn to Gloucester Docks is often avoided by those who might have heard horror stories about it! - Here, Wye Invader Two gives you a 'Real Time' guided journey down "The Parting" to the lock at Gloucester.

What a great video! Thank you for taking the time and trouble to make it. We did the Partings in the summer of 2022 and was scared every foot of the way - even after watching this video.

Just bought pur first boat moored at Tewkesbury and really looking forward to tackling the Gloucester run. Thank you so much for the great detail.

I live just downstream of Gloucester and I have walked part of the footpath on the East bank of this channel. Its interesting to see it from the river.

Thanks. Very useful. I'm planning to navigate this stretch in a couple of months, when we take our narrowboat to Saul Marina.
