Avoncliff Aqueduct Visitor Mooring (east) is on the Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) between Newfield and Sumerlease.
The Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Oldton and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Poole. According to Charles Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Lancaster Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours.
