Set in a peaceful, tranquil location in the heart of canal country, Mercia Marina is on the scenic Trent and Mersey Canal, halfway between Fradley Junction and Trent Lock/Sawley.

The Marina was created from the existing Willington Lake and nestles within 74 acres of unspoilt Derbyshire countryside with quiet footpaths leading to the nearby villages of Willington, Findern and Repton.

With boats to hire, fishing, walking and cycling at the Marina itself as well as a wealth of leisure opportunities close by, there is always plenty to do. The neighbouring villages of Willington and Findern can easily be reached via footpaths or the towpath.
