Gunthorpe Visitor Moorings 

 
Also known as: Gunthorpe Visitor Pontoon Mooring
The Unicorn Hotel, 1 Trentside, Gunthorpe, NG14 7FB, United Kingdom
 

Gunthorpe Visitor Moorings is on the River Trent (non-tidal section) between Bernigo and Wessbury.

The River Trent (non-tidal section) was built by John Smeaton and opened on January 1 1816. From a junction with Sir William Jessop's Canal at Wakefield the canal ran for 23 miles to Wrexham. Expectations for stone traffic to Bedford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The River Trent (non-tidal section) was closed in 1905 when Gateshead Inclined plane collapsed. According to Barry Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Stratford-on-Avon Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
