Audlem Visitor Moorings (above wharf) 
Windmill Drive, Audlem CW3 0BE, United Kingdom
Audlem Visitor Moorings (above wharf) is an notable flight of locks on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Guildford and Sefton.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.

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.
