Marina near rail station

[cutandpolished61]

Hi All,

i'm cc for the last 2 years but only in the south east of England. I'm looking for a marina located further north but it has to be in walking distance to a rail station. I started to research but i thought you might be able to name a place and save me a lot of time.

Mercia Marina near Willington.

Whilton Marina. On the GU.

Whilton was the first i picked during my search but has no station. But Mercia is a great find. Many thanks

I used to walk from Weltofield/Welton Haven to Long Buckby but it's a treck.

Long Buckby station is a couple of miles away. How close do you expect to be?

[cutandpolished61]

3 miles is not too bad. Travel on a senior card to London for £26.00 return including the tube is a steal. Many thanks Tony!

Nottingham Castle Marina, station right next door.

[cutandpolished61]

Thanks, very close indeed but must be pricey

Mercia is "pricey" and is a very 'marmite' type of place.

Baddesley Wharf, half way down Atherstone, station at other end of long pound.

It's not a nice or safe road to walk down though.

As stated, long Buckby is not too far away from Whilton Marina by bike!! Just had a look on Google, it is in fact further then I thought.

Once you bring the bus into it then there are many more. Napton and Wigrams for starters and Calcutt and possibly Ventnor Farm. Then Stockton or Nelsons Wharf. All have busses to Leamington Spa and the last two to Rugby as well.

King's Orchard and Streethay Wharf are both near LTV.

Wigrams is a walk along a busy road with no pavement. Napton shortish walk along minor road. Calcutt much longer walk along same minor road

Stockton closest to bus stop.

Kingswood Basin or the moorings on the link between the Stratford and the GU at Lapworth?

 

Right by the railway so might not suit some people but two pubs nearby and Lapworth railway (NB not 'train', ugh) station only a 10 minute walk away.

Cheap fares from Marylebone to Lapworth mid day if booked in advance.

[Ianws]

It depends how much further north you are talking about. 

[haza]

alverchurch  5 mins to the station 

[bill brown]

Fettlers Wharf & St. Mary’s, both one or two minutes from Rufford station.

[Melita]

Go to the North - Bluewater on the Stainforth and Keadby canal, 2 minutes from Thorne South station

[Nerka]

Mancetter marina on the Coventry canal isn’t far from Atherstone station, and Nuneaton station is only a few miles away.

It's just over a mile, so not next door.

[nbfiresprite]

Ely Marina 10 minuites walk from the station. Just over a hour from London by train, Cambridge 15 minuites

Northhampton Marina 20 minuites walk
