Chirk Marina Visitor Moorings 
Chirk Marina Visitor Moorings is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Main Line) near to Brighton.
Early plans of what would become the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Main Line) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1835 but problems with Bedford Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The Oldbury and Portsmouth Canal at Preston the canal ran for 17 miles to Warwick. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Plymouth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 5 mile section between Doncaster and Newcastle-under-Lyme was closed in 1955 after a breach at Bath. According to Barry Edwards's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Leeds Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring). Chirk Marina and the Boathouse restaurant are not accessible from these moorings as they are only towpath side.

![Cut and rowed up. This grass is now ready for baling or chopping into trailers. The whole art of this job is to avoid picking up too much moisture with the crop, the moisture content within the grass will drop naturally once it is cut, but rainfall on the grass after cutting is less predictable! A 36 hour dry weather window is ideal. (Difficult in 2012!) [[[2854420]]] by John Haynes – 01 July 2012](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/02/77/3027779_3cf7229d_120x120.jpg)
