White Bear Waterside & Marina

A hidden gem of Lancashire

Linked to over 2,000 miles of inland waterways and just a short cruise from the mighty Wigan Flight, White Bear Marina at Adlington is a haven of peace and meets all your mooring requirements. Moor your boat and enjoy this peaceful space where residents and the Waterside Crew have created a natural oasis that regularly wins awards in the Best Kept Village awards. White Bear Waterside & Marina is the largest marina on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and benefits from a good range of services and facilities, including a café. If you are looking for a hidden gem in a surprisingly well-connected spot, White Bear is for you. It’s convenient for the M61, within an hour of Manchester, Liverpool and Preston.

Things to do in Lancashire and nearby

Adlington borders the West Pennine Moors where you can enjoy fantastic walks and breath-taking views. The town is thriving, with sports clubs, interest societies and plenty of good restaurants and pubs. For the children, there’s a recreation ground just across the road. Further afield, watch Bolton Wanderers FC at the University of Bolton Stadium. It’s next to Middlebrook Retail Park, where you can also shop, eat, go bowling or visit the cinema. For a day out, visit Rivington Terraced Gardens or Pennington Flash Country Park, where you can enjoy lake walks, golf, a children’s play area, bird watching and some water sports.
