Nottingham Castle Waterside & Marina

Overview
A quiet spot in the heart of Nottingham
For a quiet escape in Nottingham City Centre with easy access to the River Trent, Nottingham Castle Waterside & Marina is the place to be.
Tucked away on the banks of the Nottingham and Beeston Canal, it’s a peaceful spot to moor up. In fact, it’s so quiet, you’ll probably forget you’ve got the city centre on your doorstep.
Available with leisure moorings and visitor moorings, our marina is just a mile’s walk from Nottingham City Centre. Along with all the shops, restaurants and nightlife on offer, Nottingham has heaps of history and culture to get your teeth into. Time your trip right, and you might spot a Robin Hood lookalike giving tours around the city.
With the city nearby, it’s hard to believe how quiet the marina is – it has a really calm atmosphere. For nature lovers, there’s plenty of wildlife around, too. Permanent residents at the marina include a heron and a cormorant, so keep an eye out for them while you’re here.

Things to do in the local area
For a peaceful stop off on the Nottingham and Beeston Canal, come moor up with us at Nottingham Castle Waterside & Marina. It’s only a mile from the city centre, so it’s a great base to explore from. When you’re done touring the castle and walking around the historical Lace Market, you can head back to your boat and watch our resident heron try to snatch some fish from the canal.
There are lots of places to eat and shop in the city, but you don’t need to go that far – there’s some great bars and restaurants right by the marina, along with a big supermarket. For more shopping options, you’ve also got Castle Retail Park nearby.

Nottingham Castle Marina is located on the Nottingham and Beeston canal, so you’ve got access to the whole waterways network. There is lots of exploring to do around here.
