Overwater Marina is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line).
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor).
Facilities: diesel for sale, chemical toilet disposal, chemical toilet disposal suitable for DIY pump-out, gas for sale, boater-operated pump-out, showers, toilets, water point and laundrette.

![OverWater Marina north-west of Audlem in Cheshire. The marina entrance is about eight hundred metres north of Audlem Bottom Lock.The OverWater name comes from the original name of Monks Hall Farm (to the east of the canal) which until the late 1800s was called Over the Water Farm. When a pedigree Holstein Friesians herd was established on the farm in the 1960s the herd was named the Overwater Herd. The farm can only be reached by crossing the Shropshire Union Canal, the River Weaver or the Spinnaker Brook.[[6561023]]] by Roger D Kidd – 19 October 2012](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/56/10/6561067_05f83e6b_120x120.jpg)
