Acton Bridge Departures
The Weaver Navigation as it is officially known, is one of the UK's hidden gem's and your cruise through some of Cheshire's most stunning countryside won't disappoint. First made navigable to small craft in the 1700's the Weaver grew on the back of the salt and chemical industry in Northwich and Winsford. It has seen many alterations and improvements over the years with ships of up to 1,000 tons still using the river to convey cargo as recently at the 1990's. The Acton Bridge dates from the 1930's and although of impressive size, the bridge swings with just the use of a few Horse Power due to its weight being borne by a floating pontoon. We will not be sailing through this bridge however as this is the starting point for our journey. We depart straight for Dutton Locks, after which we wind our way through some of the rivers most stunning scenery to pass through the recently refurbished Sutton Weaver Swing Bridge and arrive at our berth.
