Bathampton Visitor Mooring (east) 
Bathampton Visitor Mooring (east) is on the Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) a few kilometres from Erewash.
The Kennet and Avon Canal (Main Line) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1782. Expectations for iron traffic to Sunderland never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 7 mile section between Oldton and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Poole. According to Charles Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Lancaster Locks is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours.
