Nantwich Visitor Moorings (north) 
Nantwich Visitor Moorings (north) is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Sunderland and Glasgow.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Not too far to walk to the town centre, which is good for shopping and architecture! You can also get the bus if you don't fancy walking. .

The half-mile embankment was required to avoid Dorfold Park (in [[SJ6352]]) whose owners objected to the direct route; for more information, see http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/countryside/Walking/crewe_nantwich/nantwich_acton/home.htm by Espresso Addict – 16 October 2006](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/photos/26/13/261338_8327dcfe_120x120.jpg)
