Fradley Marina sits at Fradley Junction on the Trent and Mersey Canal in Staffordshire, the point where the Coventry Canal branches off southward.

It is one of the busiest spots on the English waterway network, with boatyards, moorings, and a Canal & River Trust service station offering water, pump-out, Elsan disposal, and a shop stocked with licences and CRT keys.

The junction serves as a natural hub for cruisers travelling the Trent and Mersey in either direction, and visitor moorings are available above Shadehouse Lock.

The surrounding area includes the popular Fradley Pool Nature Reserve, walking and cycling tracks, a pond-dipping platform, and sculpture trails, making it a draw for both boaters and day visitors.
