Stanstead Marina

Stanstead Marina is on the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee) a short distance from Sumerlease.
The Act of Parliament for the Lee and Stort Navigation (River Lee) was passed on 17 September 1888 the same day as that of The Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Expectations for iron traffic to Northcorn never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In 1972 the canal became famous when Cecil Wood made a model of Runton Tunnel out of matchsticks to encourage restoration of Barbury Aqueduct.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary).
Facilities: diesel for sale, gas for sale, coal for sale, boatyard pump-out and water point.
You may be able to wind here, but it is not a full-length winding hole, being only suitable for boats up to 60 feet long.
