UK Canal Maps and our Canal Boating Blog
Just got to 820 locations and now working on removing the weird and wonderful places that seem to be in the CRT data, there are a lot of EoG moorings (End of Garden, so I am told) and clearly private or commercial (Boat yards that do not offer mooring etc) that are being removed.
Please feel free to send me sites we have missed I need:- Name of location, address and postcode or Lat/long coordinates, and any other detail you have. emailed to “dfloyd @ floyd.co.uk” (Remove the spaces)
I am working on a new page for our site, it all started by looking for a new marina for next year. We are very happy at Droitwich Spa Marina and would highly recommend it, but we would like to see some more of the canal network.
The new page started as a spreadsheet of potential marina’s, but it was hard to visualise where these were, so I created a google map from my data, that started to look useful so I added a few more locations, I now have hundreds ready to add and over the next few weeks I should have a good guide ready.
Below is a work in progress version and this will update as I add new places, but, you can also find it on our menu above as this blog post will age and not be so visible soon.
UPDATE: Thanks to some feed back from Canal World Forums I now have some data from the CRT and have imported this into my map, I am now editing the data to add street addresses, phone numbers and web sites as I find them. There are over 500 possible mooring sites to update so this will take a while.
If you have any recommendations please let me know I need:- Name of location, address and postcode, contact number and website URL. emailed to “dfloyd @ floyd.co.uk” (Remove the spaces)
