Overview
The UK’s largest inland marina
In a tranquil setting, on a navigational cut of the River Trent near Long Eaton in Nottinghamshire, lies Sawley Waterside and Marina, the largest inland marina in the UK. With a water space that covers 23 acres, lapping up against the green and natural borders of the rural landscape, Sawley is peaceful yet well-connected. Here, you can explore the mighty River Trent, River Soar and the Trent & Mersey canal which take you through miles of unspoilt countryside, as well as being close to the cities of Nottingham and Leicester.

Life on the water at Sawley Waterside and Marina
David and Denise, Flying Mongoose."We moved to Sawley Waterside & Marina in 2012. We both work from home and find the B.T. broadband access invaluable.
The location is peaceful and conveniently located for motorway, bus and train links for work and pleasure. Although closely located to Derby, Nottingham and Leicester, Sawley still has a village feel about it with a choice of pubs and restaurants in both Sawley and Castle Donnington.
A major plus is our patio area. Not massive, but a lovely area to sit with a glass of something or bbq in the summer."
