Weekend cruise to Barbridge

Our most popular cruise for weekenders is to head south from the marina down the Trent & Mersey Canal towards the next closest town of Middlewich (where the first lock is). After a 10 minute cruise through the town centre and a few more locks you then turn right on to the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union Canal as you cruise to Barbridge Junction before turning around and cruising back home.
This route is great for combining locks with countryside and canal side pubs.

Mid Week Break to Nantwich

With 4 nights on board a perfect route is to head south towards Middlewich, turning right on to the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union canal. Once you reach the Barbridge Junction you could turn left and cruise for a couple more hours where you would reach your turnaround point of the historic Cheshire market town of Nantwich.
This route is great for combining locks with countryside and canal side pubs with sightseeing.
