Horninglow Basin sits on the Trent and Mersey Canal in Burton-upon-Trent, marking the terminus of the canal's navigable stretch from Preston Brook.

It serves as a practical turning point, with a winding hole accommodating boats up to 70 feet and wide beam craft.

Boater services and facilities are available on site, and a Canal & River Trust sanitary station with water point, toilet, and Elsan disposal is located nearby.

For those arriving by water, the basin makes a convenient base for exploring Burton-upon-Trent, with the Heritage Brewery Museum accessible from here.

The surrounding area also forms part of the Kingfisher Trail, a towpath route offering views of narrowboats working through the locks and wildlife along the canal corridor.
