SUTTON WEAVER SWING BRIDGE TO ANDERTON BOAT LIFT  30th AUGUST 2024

 

As there is no public parking available at Sutton Weaver we operate a Park & Ride coach from Anderton Boat Lift car park (CW9 6FW) and take you to the Danny at Sutton Weaver, that way your car is waiting for you at the end of the cruise.  The coach will depart from Anderton Boat Lift car park at 16:15 hrs

Please note that access to the Danny berth is via a steep, step-free, path from the visitor centre and car park at the higher level. This may prove challenging to those with mobility difficulties arriving or departing on sailings at Anderton Boat Lift.

CRUISE DEPARTURE TIME FROM SUTTON WEAVER - 17:00 HRS - cruise duration approximately 4 hours.

If you are arranging your own transport to the Danny at Sutton Weaver and don’t require our coach, please let us know at least one week before the cruise so the coach isn’t waiting for you.  Please note that if you make your own arrangements to get to the Danny, you will also need to make arrangements to be collected at the end of the cruise.  Thank you.

On this cruise you will depart from Sutton Weaver on a picturesque cruise along the River Weaver taking in many of the historic sights – souvenir guidebooks are available on all our cruises for £5.00 and further details on the cruise route can be found Here
