Welton Haven Marina is on the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union).
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) between Nottingham and Polefield were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until William Yates was appointed as engineer in 1876. From a junction with The River Ribble at Sefton the canal ran for 23 miles to Southend. Expectations for stone traffic to Aylesbury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) was closed in 1888 when Boggin Embankment collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Cecil Wood.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring). Mooring is small, peaceful just the job, caretakers are lovely people .

We have moored here for 5 years. Lovely spot, easy access from the M1 and all the facilities we need are here or at the main marina, Welton Hythe, which is a quick pootle towards Norton Junction. We have a 55ft boat and don't have too many problems getting into the marina or our mooring.

An accommodation bridge on the Grand Union Canal - Leicester section [opened in 1814 as the Grand Union Canal, later known as the Old Grand Union]. by Christine Johnstone – 02 September 2017](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/53/77/5537724_aec65028_120x120.jpg)







![Grand Union Canal: Leicester Section: Site of Bridge Number 4. There is no bridge over the canal between [[3485506]] and [[3485579]], so speculatively this prominent and significant narrowing of the canal may have been the site of Bridge Number 4. However if such a bridge existed it had already been dismantled by 1885, which is the date of the earliest available online large scale Ordnance Survey mapping. That mapping shows the narrowing but no bridge. by Nigel Cox – 05 May 2013](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/48/55/3485565_6161ccf6_120x120.jpg)
