Pooley Country Park Marina (north) is on the Coventry Canal (Main Line - Hawkesbury to Fazeley) just past the junction with The Polstan Canal.

The Coventry Canal (Main Line - Hawkesbury to Fazeley) was built by Nicholas Wright and opened on January 1 1835. In his autobiography Oliver Taylor writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s

Additional information

The name is misleading, as it's not really a marina, but that's what it's called. I believe they belong to Drayton Narrowboat hire Ltd and there are plans to operate a hire boats from here.
