Alrewas to Branston Water Park

Leaving the lovely Alrewas and heading east-north-east,(!) boaters have to travel on a section on the River Trent.  It’s very lovely – especially when the sun is shining.

          Moments like this are magic!                   They weren’t a bit bothered by the boat!

            A tight turn!                          The church at Wychnor               Huge marina at Barton Turns

There are lots of marinas between Fradley and Sawley so, consequently, this is proving to be a busy stretch of canal –  hire boats have been consistently coming out  from Sawley and lots of private boats are out and about too.

We are now moored up next to Branston Water Park which has to be high on our list of ‘best mooring sites’.  Branston is just outside of Burton-on-Trent.  The only thing that spoils it a bit is the constant drone of traffic noise from the nearby, busy A38.
