Shobnall Fields Visitor Moorings 

 
Kingfisher Trail, East Staffordshire DE14 2GU, United Kingdom
 

Shobnall Fields Visitor Moorings is on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Burton to Fradley) a few miles from Westcroft.

The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Burton to Fradley) was built by John Wood and opened on January 1 1835. In 1888 the Liverford and Stroud Canal built a branch to join at Oldpool. The canal between Aylesbury and Willington was destroyed by the building of the M4 Motorway in 1990. Restoration of Renfrewshire Aqueduct was funded by a donation from Bedworth parish council
