Around & About

There is so much to discover from our doorstep

Whilst the surroundings of our beautiful Marina are truly remarkable, what makes Tattenhall Marina such a great place is the variety and diversity afforded by the local area.

Our locality will keep you coming back time and time again. One of the most popular attractions is the Four Counties Ring, a cruising route which takes in 92 locks in 97 miles and takes around 60 hours to complete.

As the name suggests, the route takes in four of England’s counties so you’ll see a good mix of the North West countryside, pretty villages and industrial architecture. Cruising for 8 hours a day, the ring can be completed in a week, but to make the most of this spectacular cruising route, we recommend a full two week excursion.

There is also access to several other popular canal routes from the Shropshire Union Canal on which we are based, including the Llangollen canal and the Trent and Mersey.

Beautiful marina, very peaceful and lovely. We stayed in one of the floating pods and it was clean, compact but comfortable. A great outdoor sitting area with a bistro table and chairs. Ducks are very friendly and inquisitive, had to persuade a few not to enter the accommodation.

Kevin Barber Customer

We stayed in one of the floating pods. The pod was clean and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay, from tea and coffee to board games. The seating area outside was a lovely touch, despite the fact it was raining and we couldn't enjoy it. The bed was also very comfy and the pod itself was toasty warm! We also enjoyed a couple of drinks at the restaurant which had lovely friendly staff and was very reasonably priced. Thanks team Marina for a wonderful stay!
