A traditional working boatyard on the southern Cromford Canal
Welcome to Langley Mill Boatyard, a traditional working yard based in the
East Midlands at the junction of the Erewash, Cromford and Nottingham canals.
The yard has been established for over 40 years, and is now under new
ownership. Dan and Vikki look forward to welcoming you to this quiet and
tranquil spot only a few hours cruise from the River Trent. With fantastic
amenities all within walking distance there has never been a better time to
visit one of the waterways’ better kept secrets.
The boatyard at Langley Mill originated in 1974 to formalise the rental from British Waterways Board. Originally formed by 8 members of the Erewash Canal Preservation and Development Association, they restored 100m of the Southern end of the Cromford canal, and constructed the dry dock. The current length of restored canal stands at nearly 270 metres, with another section looking to be restored in the near future. For the past few years, operating under the name Langley Mill Boatyard Ltd, it has been ran by Pete Newman, one of the original eight founding members. Now under new ownership, we aim to continue the excellent work which was started by a group of volunteers 46 years ago.
