The Perfect Location in the Heart of Canal Country.​

​​

Ideally situated on the historic Trent & Mersey Canal, Mercia Marina is one of the UK’s best-equipped and most beautiful inland marinas — the perfect base for exploring the waterways. Set within 77 acres of peaceful countryside, the marina’s 13 islands/promontories creates a series of mini-marinas within the large waterspace. It offers a safe, flood-free location surrounded by nature and wildlife.

Positioned halfway between Fradley Junction and Trent Lock/Sawley, Mercia Marina sits at the very heart of canal country, providing excellent cruising connections in every direction. Whether you’re embarking on a short local adventure or a longer voyage across the national network, you’ll find Mercia an ideal starting point.

Footpaths from the marina lead directly to the nearby villages of Willington, Findern and Repton, offering a delightful mix of countryside walks, historic charm and welcoming pubs along the way.

Experience the tranquillity, convenience and central location that make Mercia Marina the perfect place to begin your next journey on the water.
