Stanthorne Visitor Moorings is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Middlewich Branch) between Westcester and Bedford.
The Act of Parliament for the Shropshire Union Canal (Middlewich Branch) was passed on 17 September 1876 and 37 thousand shares were sold the same day. The Shropshire Union Canal (Middlewich Branch) was closed in 1905 when Newpool Embankment collapsed. In 1990 the canal became famous when Nicholas Wood painted a mural of Nuneaton Boat Lift on the side of George Edwards's house to raise money for Children in Need.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours.
