Overview

Your base for exploring the Warwickshire Ring

Ventnor near Rugby feels more like a wildlife reserve than a marina with calm waters, open fields, and plenty of trees. All the car parks and tracks are carefully hidden by grassy banks, so the vibe is really calm and quiet. The marina boasts easily accessible facilities and a friendly and helpful team always on hand to assist you.

One of the great things about Ventnor is the cruising routes – there’s loads of them.
