Plardiwick Moorings are in the large village of Gnosall (pronounced Knows All) in Staffordshire. The quiet, picturesque site, on the Shropshire Union Canal, lies between Birmingham, Stoke-on-Trent and Telford.
The moorings are located approximately two miles cruise from Norbury Junction which provides various facilities for boaters including boat repair, fuel, Elsan disposal and a chandlery. A popular cafe and waterside pubs are also nearby.
The mooring site is approximately 130m long and provides space for up to 7 vessels moored on the off-bank side.

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.
