Saltisford Canal

Saltisford Canal Trust would like to give you a warm welcome to the Saltisford Arm of the Grand Union Canal, in heart of the historic market town of Warwick. 

We are a small canal charity set up 30 years ago to restore the canal arm which dates back to 1799, and is originally the terminus of the Warwick and Birmingham Canal.

The Saltisford Canal Centre has been transformed by volunteers from a site of dereliction into a peaceful moorings, set in a series of gardens and orchards.

The arm is home to a number of residential narrowboats, and also provides permanent, winter and visitor moorings within 10 minutes walk of the heart of Warwick. 

We have a range of facilities, which we hope you will use and enjoy, whether you are just mooring overnight, visiting on foot or staying longer.

The grounds are open year round during daylight hours for visitors to enjoy. We have a self-guided garden tour sheets available in the Visitor Centre. There is a picnic lawn area with tables and parasols in the summer.
