Acton Bridge No 93

 
Wilbraham Road, Acton CW5 8JZ, United Kingdom
 
Information about the place
 
 
The nearest place in the direction of Nantwich Basin Entrance is Nantwich & Border Counties Yacht Club (nbcyc); 1¾ furlongs away.
 
The nearest place in the direction of Hurleston Junction is Henhull Bridge No 95; 4¾ furlongs away.

There is access (via steps) to the towpath here.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring pins are needed. The bank is quite solid with a good edge but as with a lot of concrete edges it juts out a bit underwater so you tend to stop a little out from the bank and grind on the edge.

There is a bridge here which takes a track over the canal.
