The Navigation here serves excellent food and you can even watch waterway videos. This GBG listed pub sells Websters, Timothy Taylors Landlord and guest ale. The journey to Marple locks is slow due to the shallow channel but the views over the Derbyshire peaks are stunning. The locks are quite heavy and the aqueduct is worth a good look. The journey to Ashton is much more attractive than we imagined.
Most boats do tend to moor at Portland basin however.
