Information about the place
Winsford Marina is a minor waterways place at the junction of the River Weaver (Main Line) with the River Weaver (Winsford Bottom Flash).
 
Hunt's Lock Weir Entrance (Channel leading to the drydock and sluices) is on the River Weaver (Main Line), 4 miles and 6¾ furlongs and 1 lock to the north. Winsford Flash Sailing Club is on the River Weaver (Winsford Bottom Flash), a few yards to the southeast.
 
 
The nearest place in the direction of Hunt's Lock Weir Entrance is Winsford Bridge (westbound); a few yards away.
 
The nearest place in the direction of Winsford Flash Sailing Club is Outlet of unnavigable upper River Weaver; a few yards away.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. These are council moorings, not CRT, and are slightly beyond CRT's jurisdiction, which ends at Winsford Bridge (eastbound). They are round the corner, just before the bottom flash (lake). There is a water point on the east side near the slipway car park.

Facilities: showers, toilets and water point.

Additional information

Water point, usual CRT type. Plenty of mooring on rings. Facilities block contains toilets and showers and is on a BWB key.

Shops about 10 minutes walk in the town, convenience store nearer. Several Pubs nearby.

Quiet mooring while we were there midweek (April 2018).

 
Navigational Notes

Navigation is safe as far as the marina basin - almost a 180° left turn after leaving the narrow river, or reverse in.

Do not proceed further onto the flash without great care as it is extremely shallow in places with sudden and unpredictable changes in depth.

Note that Canal & River Trust's navigation authority ends at Winsford Bridge - the Town Council maintains the marina basin.
