North T&M Moorings.

Featured Posts

Evening all,

Currently in Lancashire but looking to move into Cheshire as soon as possible, any recommendations for marinas/moorings on the T&M, preferably as close to the  Bridgewater

as possible? So far have only looked at Uplands and Anderton marinas.   Need to travel to St Helens pretty much daily to look after my elderly horse, hence the preference for as far north as    possible.

Thanks, Keith

A bit further south than Anderton there is Park Farm Marina and another two in close proximity which I can't off hand remember the names of.  Black Prince at Acton Bridge also have on line moorings and they  are the closest to the Bridgewater.

Although Preston Brook Marina is on the Bridgewater, and the OP specified T&M.  I assume mooring there would require a Bridgewater licence.

All those mentioned on the T&M itself (apart from Black Prince at Acton Bridge) are “as close to the Bridgewater as possible”, but if you are bringing a boat by water from Lancashire, all of them are the wrong side of the landslip stoppage between the Anderton Lift and Barnton Tunnel, which will reportedly take some months to fix, and that may impact your “as soon as possible”. Unless you go the long way round via the Macc.

Black Prince are the "right" side of the stoppage but they are on line

Hi all, thanks as ever for the replies, hadn’t seen the land slip stoppage, and that has thrown a serious spanner in the works. I’d love to go the long way around but have commitments unfortunately. Acton bridge is still a prospect, so will give that a look.

Sorry, think I posted this in the vintage engine section, as that’s where I am mostly.

Callum is 28 this year, so very elderly for a very big horse, so I don’t think he’ll be moving again. Also my wife is still working, although not for much longer hopefully. We were planning on becoming continuous cruisers when free to do so.

SWMBO's International competition Driving Horse is now in her mid 30's, retired and out 'on loan'.

 

When they have given you a lifetime of service they deserve to be cared for & looked after.

 

"Hippo" is a  10 year old (in his prime) Normandy Cob, and we also have between 7 and 20 Welsh Moutain Section A Ponies but they 'run wild as a herd' at home.

I thought all the moorings before and after the Black Prince yard were Black Princes. Not sure about the ones near Phil Dowlings mooring though
