Overview

Bowling Harbour has three mooring areas on two levels. Bowling Lower Basin, leading to Bowling Upper Basin which is accessed under the railway bridge on the first level and Bowling Helenslea on the upper level. Customers have the use of all the facilities at all levels. 

Directly on National Cycle Route 7, Bowling is a popular destination with a café and shops. With a nearby rail link, and several bus routes, Bowling Helenslea offers a fantastic opportunity to be part of a unique semi-rural neighbourhood only 30 minutes from Glasgow. 

Accessed through lock 38 the residential moorings are on pontoon finger and linear style berthing whilst the leisure moorings are on the linear. A small facilities block is on this level along with the pump out facilities and diesel.
