If you are seeking a holiday that allows for more stationary exploration and immersion in a particular area, CanalScapes has the perfect solution for you. Our bespoke static mooring breaks offer the opportunity to delve into popular areas which include: 

• The 'Potteries' with several factories adjacent to the canal network, including Middleport Pottery Museum, Emma Bridgewater and Wedgwood
• The Trentham Estate and the delightful Trentham Gardens and shopping village.
• Tixall Wide with its unique broad water feature and close proximity to Shugborough Estate.
• The market town of Stone, along with Aston Marina, which boasts a remarkable setting and a charming No.26 restaurant that features seasonal menus highlighting local produce.

We are delighted to customize the location and length of our static mooring holidays to meet your specific needs.

How does it work?

Your holiday will start and end at Aston Marina, Stone. 

Once moored in position, your skipper will leave you in the afternoon and rejoin you on the last day to take you back to Aston Marina.

You can choose to to stay at the marina, or anywhere within an hours cruise from Aston, or a combination of both. 

An hour south will take you into open countryside as far as Sandon. Local pubs en-route are The Greyhound at Burston and The Dog and Doublet, Sandon. 

An hour north will get you into the heart of Stone, with its array of shops, pubs and restaurants. If you are seeking a traditional pub we would recommend The Swan Inn, or for a more modern experience The Crown Wharf. 

If you would like more than an hours cruising, we are pleased to take you on a full days cruise to get you to you choice of location.

What is the cost?

Static days are £250 per night, including your 1 hour cruise.

If you opt for a full days cruise at the start and end of your holiday, the cost will be £350 per night, for the first and last night, and £250 for when you are static.

Minimum 2 nights
