Droylsden Marina sits on the Hollinwood Branch Canal adjacent to Fairfield Top Lock on the Ashton Canal, and is managed by Portland Basin Marina.

It serves as a water point for canal users and offers secure permanent or long-term moorings as part of the Droylsden Wharf development.

The marina is well placed for onward cruising, sitting at the start of approximately nine miles of lock-free navigation on the Ashton and Lower Peak Forest Canal through to Marple Aqueduct.

It also lies adjacent to both the Cheshire Ring and South Pennine Ring routes. Diesel, chandlery, and dry dock facilities are available at Portland Basin Marina, less than an hour's cruise away.
