This is the marina of the Stafford Boat Club. Originally it was the short Hazlestrine Arm of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, which had been used to carry clay to, and bricks from the former Hazlestrine Brickworks. The boat club acquired the site in 1968, and have made a brilliant job of transforming the whole area as a private marina with beautifully landscaped grounds, and club house. The bridge across the entrance is new, built in 2010. Visiting crews are welcomed to the club (especially if supporting the bar!) but it is advisable to contact them first to check whether mooring is available by their field. There is no access from the towpath side.
