Budworth Sailing Club is situated on the lovely Budworth Mere near Northwich in the heart of Cheshire.
Budworth Mere is a 100-acre stretch of water set in partially wooded countryside. The whole of the Mere is navigable, but the club avoids the area at one end, bordered by a nature reserve where swans, geese, herons, terns and many other species of wild fowl nest and breed throughout the season. A great plus to sailors is the fact that the water level is more or less constant through the year and is unaffected by water shortages. The Mere is used solely for sailing by club members and angling, and the only motorised boats permitted are the Club’s own safety boats. |
