Swanley Bridge Marina on the llangollen has spaces, try Ellesmere Port museum too, we have just been offered a spot there but have had to turn it down as we are going to sell our boat sooner than anticipated. The boat museum is right by the station.

Preston brook marina on the bridgewater, Bob that runs tt is generally very helpfull and will do his best to fit people in, even if it's on a wall mooring till something else is availablem that end of Runcorn s on the train line into Chester and n Wales as well as Manchester and busses into Liverpool are regular.

Sawley Marina on the Trent n Mersey nr Nottingham also has spaces. Rail station only a couole if miles away. Bus stop outside gates

I'm guessing you need a Bridgewater canal license to moor there?

You do but it's included in the mooring fee. I'm only on a 20ft boat but it's only 690 for mooring and licence

New Mills also usually has spaces - 40 mins by train into Manchester - if thats any help with work wise.

Hi there,

 

I am not sure if this will help you but I believe there are moorings here at Barbridge marina (Wardle, near Nantwich).

Hope the link works, if not Google if you google Midway boats, you should be able to see the info.

 

Steve the owner is very helpful and the fees very reasonable.

 

Hope you get sorted soon.

Would it be an option to moor in Manchester? If so, the New Islington marina is great, affordable, and 5min walk to the train station. Contact Richard Hattan at Urban Splash.
