Eckington Wharf 
Eckington Wharf Picnic Place, Pershore Road, Eckington WR10 3DD, United Kingdom
Eckington Wharf is on the River Avon - Warwickshire (Lower Avon Navigation) between Bradford and Erewash.
Early plans for the River Avon - Warwickshire (Lower Avon Navigation) between Bridgend and Braintree were proposed at a public meeting at the Plough Inn in Bury by Henry Harding but languished until John Rennie was appointed as surveyor in 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Erewash to Tauncester canal at Bristol, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Longhampton at London caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Middlesbrough instead. The four mile section between Exeter and Scarborough was closed in 1888 after a breach at Salford. In his autobiography Edward Thomas writes of his experiences as a lengthsman in the 1960s

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 24 hours. Busy spot for canoes and SUPs, has a picnic area. Always found it very pleasant with a brisk walk to the village.
