Set in beautifully landscaped grounds in a marina that lifts spirits, Kings Bromley Marina on the Trent and Mersey Canal hosts 275 narrowboat berths in two phases linked by a canal style bridge.

Friendly yet tranquil, a perfect narrowboat marina to just sit and enjoy being on your boat, or to explore the Four Counties and Cheshire Ring. 

A few miles from Fradley Junction in Staffordshire and a short cycle ride or walk to the nearest pub, Kings Bromley Marina is also conveniently situated for Lichfield and Beeston with the M6 only 20 minutes away.

With all the necessary inland marina services on site many berth holders stay for several years enjoying the combination of seclusion and convenience.
