Maesbury is a small, rural village located on the Montgomery Canal. The site is the only long term mooring location on this partially restored canal which stretches from Lower Frankton, near Ellesmere in Shropshire to Newtown in Powys.
Seven miles through six locks are now navigable from the junction with the Llangollen Canal.
The leisure mooring site is approximately 70 metres long and provides space for up to 4 vessels moored to the off-side bank.

- Additional Information
- Facilities are available in the on-site facilities block. Facilities are provided by and under the control of the local waterway, they do not form part of the mooring agreement Mooring rings are installed along the site but mooring pins may be needed depending on boat length and spacing of rings. Car parking is not available at this site so customers must make alternative arrangements. The nearest town is Oswestry and is approximately four miles from the mooring site. Services, including a tea shop, post office, and pubs, are available there. This is a leisure site and is determined by us to be a mooring site for the storage of boats between leisure use, customers may well spend weekends on this site, and occasionally longer periods, but it is not sold as, or intended to be suitable for long term residential use. This site does not have local authority planning consent for residential use, neither does it have the level of facilities and service expected of such a mooring. As such the offer that we have is only intended to meet the needs of a leisure boater.
