North Kilworth Marina sits on the Grand Union Canal's Leicester Line in Leicestershire, positioned midway along a 20-mile lock-free stretch that makes it an appealing base for relaxed cruising.

The site offers moorings, boat launching facilities including a hoist capable of handling full-length widebeams, and easy road access from the A4304, approximately ten minutes from the M1.

From this point on the canal, boaters can head north toward the Husbands Bosworth Tunnel and the well-known Foxton Locks, or cruise south through quiet countryside toward the Welford Arm.

The surrounding Leicester Line is regarded as one of England's less-trafficked waterways, valued for its rural scenery and peaceful character.
