Barbridge Marina

Barbridge Marina, home of Midway Boats Ltd. , sits on the Shropshire Union Canal near Wardle, just outside Nantwich in Cheshire.

It lies a short distance along the Middlewich Branch from Barbridge Junction, where the main Shropshire Union meets that branch canal. The site offers a wide gravel and grit wharf with solid concrete edging, making it a practical launch point for small craft.

A concrete slipway approximately three metres wide accommodates small trailers, and there is ample space for boat manoeuvring with a drop height of around 30 cm to the water.

Note that the old canal bridge leading to the site has a sharp, acute hump, so trailers longer than about two metres may not clear it.
