It's not too big and is set in nice grounds. I understand that the owners operate a small boat to take moorers across the canal so that the walk into Audlem does not entail walking over a sometimes very muddy field to the nearest canal bridge. Audlem is pleasant with a good selection of shops and a bus service.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902228762594290638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498846366962876974.post-3512472533690398942012-06-04T08:07:59.076+01:002012-06-04T08:07:59.076+01:00Hello again, Re Marinas. If you are thinking about...Hello again, Re Marinas. If you are thinking about over wintering in this neck of the woods, then Swanley Bridge Marina is another one you might consider. http://swanleybridgemarina.com/ Its location is again within rural Cheshire farmland, with its own private woodland walk. It is very similar to Overwater in that it is also new, with some lovely facilities. It is right at the start of the Llangolen Canal, just before the first of the Swanley locks. The difference between the two is that the village of Audlem is a 20 minute towpath walk from Overwater, where the country town of Nantwich is a similar distance from Swanley, with all its facilities, including large supermarkets, and Nantwich Canal Centre is also close by. For day to day needs there is a small convenience store a short walk away in the village of Burland.Peter Berryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10941073132300695291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7498846366962876974.post-22577762112193827742012-06-03T23:19:36.133+01:002012-06-03T23:19:36.133+01:00We spent last winter at Overwater, great crew led ...We spent last winter at Overwater, great crew led by Janet, good facilities, very quiet at night, have booked to go back next winter, Audlem a great little village, good pubs & shops, also Nantwich not that far away for larger shops. Drawbacks, long drive from road which got rutted in the rain, tho it is due to be tarmacked this year, pump out whilst good we thought was expensive at £15 for only 3.5 mins & no pause or tank additive, we went into Nantwich to get a weekend trip in & to pump out & a change of scenery. Looked at Aston as well before deciding, but for us Overwater won because of the better dog walking.<br />AlfAlfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057998230901475972noreply@blogger.com
