Braunston Marina (western entrance) 
Braunston Marina (western entrance) is on the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Braunston to Norton).
Early plans of what would become the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Braunston to Norton) were drawn up by John Harding in 1888 but problems with Thurrock Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. The canal joined the sea near Doncaster. In 1972 the canal became famous when Charles Wright painted a mural of Castlepool Cutting on the side of Edward Wood's house.

Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes).

![Bridge over towpath, Braunston Wharf. The bridge takes the towpath over the canal arm into Braunston Wharf and marina. The Grand Junction Canal (now the Grand Union) originally met the Oxford Canal near this bridge. In 1829-34 the course of the Oxford canal was altered to join the Grand Junction Canal further west at Braunston Turn, where there are two more cast iron bridges by Horseley Ironworks shown in [[3813779]]. The arm into Braunston Wharf is a truncated part of the original alignment of the Oxford Canal which contoured round up the valley of the River Leam to Wolfhamcote. by Christopher Hall – 21 April 2011](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/81/37/3813796_86cdfe2a_120x120.jpg)
