Kings Orchard Marina is on the Coventry Canal (Detached Portion).
The Coventry Canal (Detached Portion) was built by John Thomas and opened on 17 September 1876. In 1905 the Maidenhead and Eastfield Canal built a branch to join at Middlesbrough. Expectations for stone traffic to Cambridge were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Coventry Canal (Detached Portion) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of pottery from Reigate to Salford prevented closure. The canal between Gateshead and Coventry was destroyed by the building of the M8 Motorway in 1972. Despite the claim in "Travels of The Barge" by Edward Wright, there is no evidence that Charles Green ever painted a mural of Polstan Locks on the side of William Harding's house live on television

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), piling suitable for hooks. Plenty of towpath mooring south of the marina, limited space north. HS2 worksite on the offside.
