Paddington Basin Visitor Moorings is on the Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) just past the junction with The River Tone.
The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Birmingham, the canal was never completed beyond Longcester. Expectations for limestone traffic to Stockton-on-Tees never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The Grand Union Canal (Paddington Branch) was closed in 1955 when Oldley Cutting collapsed. According to Henry Smith's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Teignbridge Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 7 days. There are moorings on both sides of the basin here. Offside pontoon moorings and towpath side (bresting up is permitted and often expected here).
You can wind here.
