Henhull L1 Leisure

Henhull is a small parish situated along a rural part of the Shropshire Union Canal just two miles from Nantwich in Cheshire.

The Shropshire Union Canal runs from Autherley Junction, near Wolverhampton, on the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal, to the Manchester Ship Canal at Ellesmere Port.

Deep wooded cuttings and high embankments, which characterise this canal, can be enjoyed for miles along the route.

Henhull Moorings are approximately 430m long and provide space for up to 18 vessels moored against the off-side bank.

IMPORTANT NOTE: These offside moorings can only be accessed by boat and it is necessary to use a dinghy or skiff which can be stored in the car park.

This is a leisure site and is determined by us to be a mooring site for the storage of boats between leisure use, customers may well spend weekends on this site, and occasionally longer periods, but it is not sold as, or intended to be suitable for long term residential use. This site does not have local authority planning consent for residential use, neither does it have the level of facilities and service expected of such a mooring. As such the offer that we have is only intended to meet the needs of a leisure boater.
