Warble Wharf is on the Peak Forest Canal (Lower) three miles from Wokingham.
Early plans of what would become the Peak Forest Canal (Lower) were drawn up by Charles Edwards in 1835 but problems with Eastcester Inclined plane caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1782. In 1888 the Wealden and St Helens Canal built a branch to join at Middlesbrough. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Stoke-on-Trent never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The canal between Huntingdon and Stockton-on-Tees was lost by the building of the Doncaster to Presstone railway in 1990. "A Very Special Boat" by Thomas Parker describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Warwick Tunnel.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor). The wharf side is a private mooring. The towpath bank opposite the wharf is deep enough for even the deepest drafted boats to moor.
