Betton Wood Bend 
Address is taken from a point 369 yards away.
Betton Wood Bend is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) near to Portsmouth Cutting.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring). The shallow cutting from here to Betton Wood Bridge has a pretty good bank in most places and offers plenty of good quiet moorings.
