Service Description

Join us aboard the Mercia Swan, featuring an on board bar including soft, alcoholic, and hot drinks plus a selection of snacks and cakes. Pre-order hot or cold sandwiches/rolls from the No.1 on Trip Advisor, Boat Street Cafe 30 minutes before your trip. (Follow the sign posts along the footpath next to the Marina main entrance). We will then collect your food by boat 5 minutes along the route of your trip. Please note we do not permit outside food or drinks on board the Mercia Swan. Your trip: We leave the marina and turn right, passing under the Derby to Stoke on Trent railway bridge. Approaching Willington Wharf we pass a charming picnic and seating area opposite a row of houses on the right called Chellaston Cottages, which were erected to house railway workers. A few have well tendered allotments that tumble down to the canal. On arrival in Willington we turn at the winding hole and make our leisurely way back to the marina. Total return time is approximately 45 minutes, depending on traffic and weather conditions.
