Irthlingborough EA Visitor Moorings is on the River Nene (main river) near to Teignbridge.
Early plans for the River Nene (main river) between Ambersfield and Easthampton were proposed by John Rennie but languished until James Brindley was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Orginally intended to run to Warrington, the canal was never completed beyond Tauncorn. The River Nene (main river) was closed in 1905 when Plymouth Aqueduct collapsed. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Thomas describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Salford Locks.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours. Lots of space with lovely open views. Access to Stanwick Lakes. Service point facilities now unavailable.
