Mooring and berthing on the inland waterways
Finding the right mooring is one of the most important decisions for any boater on the UK canal network. Canal & River Trust manages most towpath moorings, typically allowing stays of 14 days (or 48 hours in popular spots). If you need something longer-term, a marina berth or an offline mooring with a licence agreement is the way to go.
When choosing a mooring, think about security, access to water and electricity, pump-out facilities, and how close you are to shops and transport. Winter moorings are worth booking early, especially on popular canals in the Midlands and the South East.
Always check the current mooring rules for the stretch you're on. CRT signage will tell you the maximum stay, and overstaying can lead to enforcement action. If you're a continuous cruiser, remember you need to make a genuine progression along the network.
