Located just 10 miles to the west of Stafford, Norbury is a small, picturesque village on the Shropshire Union Canal in Staffordshire. Norbury Junction is a popular place for boaters being in the middle of a 17 mile lock-free stretch. Deep wooded cuttings and high embankments, which characterise this canal, can be enjoyed for miles along the route.
Norbury Towpath moorings are situated amongst rural countryside. The site is approximately 200 metres long and provides space for up to 10 vessels moored to the towpath.

- Additional Information
- Facilities are provided to the south at Norbury Junction. This includes Elsan and a water point at the CRT Sanitary Station, which is available to all boaters. The boat yard opposite the CRT office provides diesel, coal, boat repair, chandlery and café. 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.
