Nestled amid rolling Staffordshire countryside on the edge of the historic market town of Stone, Aston Marina offers a tranquil and luxuriously appointed base for both long and short term moorers.
Located adjacent to Aston Lock, just south of Stone on the Trent & Mersey Canal, its central location is perfect for cruising the waterways. An award-winning on-site bar and restaurant, No.26 – named for the neighbouring lock – means that you never have far to stroll for a hearty weekend breakfast, light lunch on the deck, delicious evening meal or simply a drink in the bar. A short walk along the towpath, meanwhile, will find you in Stone town centre, with its excellent shops & restaurants and great country pubs.
In this enviable location, we have 200 berths available for long term and temporary moorings, each with metered 16amp electricity, water and fob access security gates. The twin basins are over 2.5 metres deep and generously wide – allowing easy manoeuvrability while the unique feature of an entrance and exit negates winding within the marina and further enhances the ease of navigation, as well as encouraging a natural throughput of fresh water.
Amenities are provided through a luxury block, with showers and toilets, Elsan disposal & laundry. Pump-out and diesel are located either side of our iconic miniature Iron bridge, and a fob access barrier provides controlled access to ample secure parking for moorers.
The marina office is located in the middle of the site with a small chandlery selling essential items alongside convenient supplies of coal, gas & logs, a book swap library, maps and information on the surrounding area & attractions.
We have a fully equipped workshop with servicing, maintenance and DIY facilities alongside a hard-standing storage area onsite. In times of need, they also offer launch & recovery, available via our slipway and unique boat lift trailer (we believe we are the only marina in the country with the capability to slip up to a 70ft craft!).
In short, Aston Marina offers everything you need in a base from which to explore our amazing canal network!
