North Cheshire Cruising Club sits on the High Lane Arm of the Macclesfield Canal, a short branch off the main line near the village of High Lane.

Founded in 1943, it is widely recognised as the first narrow canal cruising club in England, originally formed when local boaters united to resist a council proposal to levy rates on boathouses.

The club played a significant role, alongside the Inland Waterways Association, in preventing the abandonment of the Macclesfield Canal.

The arm itself is a historical remnant of the East Cheshire coal industry, originally built to connect collieries to the canal. Today it serves as moorings for club members.

Services at the site are available to members only and the facility is not always manned. The club's address is The Wharf, Buxton Road, High Lane, Stockport.
