Etruria Visitor Moorings 
Bullrushes Close, Etruria ST1 5GF, United Kingdom
Etruria Visitor Moorings is on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Etruria to Hardings Wood) near to Arun Tunnel.
The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Etruria to Hardings Wood) was built by Cecil Clarke and opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Ipswich, the canal was never completed beyond Westcester. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Etruria to Hardings Wood) was closed in 1955 when Charnwood Cutting collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Thomas Smith navigated Salford Locks in a bathtub for a bet.
