The Natural Choice

Our aim is simply to provide first-class facilities and services for boaters, lodge owners and visitors at competitive rates in an attractive, welcoming and safe environment for all.

 

 

Location– On the peaceful and tranquil Trent and Mersey Canal, halfway between Fradley Junction and Trent Lock/Sawley in the heart of England’s canal country, our location offers great cruising routes as well as easy road access, being just minutes from the junction of the A38 and A50. Derby, Burton and Nottingham are an easy drive away as are the Derbyshire Dales, Peak District and The National Forest. The attractive villages of Findern and Willington are a short walk. Bus services are on Findern Lane and rail services in Willington.
