Bosworth Marina has 74 jetties of 21 metres and 76 jetties of 18 metres (click here for plan of marina). Electricity and water is available on each pontoon. The impressive new 5 star 2 storey facilities building includes a reception area, licensed shop and chandlery, lounge area for boaters, showers, toilets, and laundry facilities. The building and surrounding area is monitored by CCTV. There are Elsan chemical toilet disposal points, pump out facility and fuel. Our amenities for the disabled are excellent, with a lift within the facilities building and full disabled access to toilet and showers. We have designated berths for disabled boaters which are close to the building with level access on the walkways and jetties. Car parking is close and convenient to each berth with roads and footpaths surrounding the basin. More details on our Facilities and Services page. See our Take a tour videos!

The 17 acres of landscaping around the soft edged marina basin include a lake of 4700 m² and a  SITE OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST habitat of 3500 m² adjacent to the canal which replicates the waterways habitat and attracts much wildlife. Bosworth Marina is committed to protecting this SSSI which is located on the waterway  going  towards Carlton.

The Ashby Canal travels through some of the most peaceful and tranquil countryside in the Midlands area. It is a lockless canal which means it is ideal for novice boaters, those with young families (see this review) and older boaters. Click here for more information and ideas for great days out in Leicestershire and Warwickshire and walks and cruising from Bosworth Marina along the Ashby Canal.

There is also a market in the square every Wednesday & a farmers market the last Sunday every month. The rural bus parks adjacent to the marina making transport easy. No need for a car!
