Shropshire

Shropshire and the Northern Marches boast picturesque scenery, pleasant cruising and (nearby) an awe-inspiring aqueduct.

One of the most popular waterways in Europe, the Llangollen Canal is crowned by Thomas Telford’s breathtaking Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. But don’t overlook the more tranquil charms of the Montgomery and Shropshire Union Canals – idyllic cruising territory and memorable walking routes in their own right.
