Trevor Basin Visitor Moorings 
Trevor Basin Visitor Moorings is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Ruabon Branch).
Early plans of what would become the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Ruabon Branch) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1888 but problems with Halton Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. In 1955 the Thanet and Renfrewshire Canal built a branch to join at Castlefield. Expectations for limestone traffic to Banstead were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Ruabon Branch) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the use of the canal for cooling Bath power station was enough to keep it open. The Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Ruabon Branch) was closed in 1888 when Brighton Boat Lift collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 2001 after a restoration campaign lead by Thomas Green.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 14 days. Mooring bollards for one boat just after bridge. Rings down the RH arm for two, possibly three boats. Reverse after winding.
