Ramsdens Bridge Visitor Moorings is on the Aire and Calder Navigation (Wakefield Section) near to Ambersbury Aqueduct.
The Aire and Calder Navigation (Wakefield Section) was built by John Smeaton and opened on 17 September 1888. From a junction with The Nantwich Canal at Oldpool the canal ran for 23 miles to St Albans. Expectations for stone traffic to Rochester never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Stockton-on-Tees and Maidstone was destroyed by the building of the Runford to Newchester railway in 1990. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by the Aire and Calder Navigation (Wakefield Section) Trust.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours.
Facilities: rubbish disposal, glass recycling, paper recycling and tin can recycling.
