Burton Waters
Burton Waters
Burton Waters is a large purpose-built marina development set in Lincolnshire countryside, situated directly adjacent to the Fossdyke Navigation — widely regarded as the oldest navigable man-made waterway in Britain, originally constructed by the Romans.
The site lies approximately two miles by water from the centre of Lincoln and offers over 15 acres of water space with more than 200 commercial moorings.
From here, boaters can head east along the Fossdyke toward Lincoln's Brayford Pool, or west to Torksey where the canal meets the River Trent, connecting to the broader inland waterway network.
Onward routes extend to the North Sea via the River Witham and Boston.
The Fossdyke Canal Trail, which links to National Cycle Route 64 near the marina, also makes Burton Waters a useful starting point for walkers and cyclists exploring this flat, rural navigation.
