Whaley Bridge moorings are on the Peak Forest Canal. An important building at the head of the Peak Forest Canal was the Transhipment Warehouse, built in 1832. In this building goods and minerals were transferred to and from the many working canal boats servicing local industry. Whaley Bridge offers good transport links to the Peak District National Parks as well as Manchester, Stockport and Sheffield.
