Moonsbridge Marina

Preston, North West, United Kingdom

Secure Moorings and Friendly Boatyard Services in Beautiful Lancashire Countryside.

Moons Bridge Marina is towards the middle of the Lancaster Canal, near the Market Town of Garstang and set amidst the pleasant farmlands of the North Lancashire. The canal runs for 42 lock free miles through pleasant pasturelands, overlooked for most of the way by the foothills of the Pennines, from which hang gliders often soar.

Just north of Lancaster the sea shore is only a few hundred yards to the west and you can see the sands of Morecambe Bay and across to the magnificent mountains of the Lake District, well worth a visit. There is a short branch to Glasson Docks, which has six locks. The canal is peaceful through most of the year and the lack of locks makes it ideal for those who want a relaxing holiday or anyone who prefers to avoid the hard work of locks.

A round trip from Preston to Lancaster is easily possible in a week. Lancaster is an interesting old County Town, with a castle and other old buildings. Preston and Lancaster have good railway and road links to Scotland and the South of England. All the attractions of the Lancashire coast, including Blackpool and Morecambe, and the fine stone Pennine villages of the Trough of Bowland are never far away.
