Brayford Pool Marina

Brayford Pool Marina sits at the heart of Lincoln on Brayford Wharf North, occupying what is claimed to be the oldest inland harbour in Britain.

The marina emerged from a restoration effort begun in 1969 by the Brayford Trust, rescuing the area from proposals to fill it in and convert it to a car park.

Today the marina serves houseboats and pleasure craft, providing a base for exploring Lincoln's city centre and its historic sites.

It offers 24-hour security and modern facilities, with numerous bars, restaurants, and a cinema lining the surrounding waterfront. The pool also connects to the broader Lincolnshire waterway network via the River Witham and the Fossdyke Canal.
