Windmill Drive, Audlem CW3 0BE, United Kingdom
 
Information about the place
Audlem Visitor Moorings (above wharf) is a minor waterways place on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Newcastle Road Bridge No 62 (5 miles and 7¼ furlongs and 16 locks to the southeast) and Nantwich Aqueduct (6 miles and ¾ furlongs and 6 locks to the north).
 
It is a safe place to moor within Audlem Locks. It is part of Audlem.
 
The nearest place in the direction of Newcastle Road Bridge No 62 is Audlem Lock No 23 (Audlem Flight Lock No 11); 1 furlong away.
 
The nearest place in the direction of Nantwich Aqueduct is Audlem Lock No 24 (Audlem Flight Lock No 12); ½ furlongs away.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Always worth sending crew ahead to check that there is space as these moorings are popular. There is a shelf about a foot below the waterline which is a pain.
