Site Information

Facilities & Services

• The water point is located on the towpath lock approach.
• The refuse disposal point is situated in the car park.
• Further facilities, including elsan disposal, can be found at Trent Lock, approximately half a mile to the west.

Elsan disposal and/or waste bins are provided by and under the control of the local waterway. They do not form part of the mooring agreement.

Car Parking

An open car park is provided by the local waterway. Moorers may use it, but they do not have any priority over other users at this site.

Local Area

Nottingham Yacht Club moorings and the members’ clubhouse are close by. The clubhouse opens on Friday and Saturday evenings from 7pm to 12 midnight, and on Sunday lunchtimes between 12pm and 3pm.

Nearby, the Erewash Canal offers a wonderful route for exploring the Nottinghamshire countryside that inspired DH Lawrence, passing through small towns and villages just outside Nottingham.

The canal is very popular for walking and cycling in green and peaceful surroundings. It sees less boating traffic than some canals, making it a great place for boaters to escape the crowds.

Trent Lock, where the canal joins the River Trent, is not only a major waterways crossroads but also a pretty picnic spot. Further north, Nutbrook Junction and Trowell Marsh offer nature reserve areas along the canal, with a rich mixture of woodland, grassland and swamp — ideal for spotting wildlife.
