Denham Visitor Moorings is on the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) a short distance from Colchester.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) between Wrexham and Neath were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Wood was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bracknell to Manton canal at Halton, the difficulty of tunneling under Eastleigh caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Westcorn instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Peterborough were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) was closed in 1888 when Preston Embankment collapsed. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" by Thomas Yates, there is no evidence that Arthur Thomas ever made a model of Aylesbury Aqueduct out of matchsticks for a bet

These moorings are on the edge of Denham Country Park. There is a circular walking route that includes part of the towpath and takes in a children's playground for children up to 12, near the visitor centre.
Currently (spring 2021) there is work going on a short distance away for HS2 which we could hear while walking the towpath, although this is presumably only during daytime and was far enough away not to be overpowering.
