Discover Vobster Quay...
Isn't it time you discovered the UK’s premier location for deepwater
trials, scientific research and media productions? Located in the heart
of the scenic Somerset countryside, Vobster Quay is built upon the
banks of a 36-acre fresh water lake suitable for a wide range of
commercial and media activities.
A former deepwater research site for the Ministry of Defence, the lake's topography (click to view
sidescan image)
offers a range of water depths from 6m/20ft to a maximum of 40m/130ft.
With excellent water clarity and access from extensive waterside
concrete aprons, Vobster Quay can also provide ample office, training,
secure storage and workshop space for your project. For those with more
specific needs, we can help with any additional logistics.
Our
secluded rural location offers discrete, low background noise for
testing and filming, while a three metre-high perimeter fence and
police-linked alarm system gives your equipment maximum security. In
addition, a large car park provides excellent space for equipment
deployment or support trailer parking.
Access is equally good from the M3, M4 and M5 with a 2-3 hour travel time typical from central London (view
map). In addition, Bristol International Airport is less than 45 minutes by road. The area is well served for good value
accommodation and Vobster Quay is less than 2 minutes from the exclusive
Babington House hotel and country club. The nearest town is approximately 10 minutes drive.
Our
experienced staff have a background in marine science and have hosted
numerous trials, client demos and filming events. Whatever your
requirements, we can tailor our facility to suit your needs...
