エルズミア・ルーラルでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

New coffee shop in Ellesmere, really good coffee and good parking for bikes infront of the cafe.

The sculpture trail has been developed over the last 12 years. Each piece has been commissioned specifically and made in response to the location. Pieces have been made from local stone, wood or other material whenever possible. There are 23 sculptures on the trail, nine are on the banks of the Mere.

The Mere at Ellesmere is the largest of Shropshire's nine Meres and it is a stunning one at that. It hosts woodland walks, gardens, ice-creams, a café/restaurant and is a haven for wildlife such as Swans, Ducks and Herons. A perfect place to take a break from your ride.

Fantastic real ale pub. The oldest pub in Shropshire!

I often stop at the boat house café. Great lakeside view with loads of ducks, geese and swans, including feral ones. Great place to sit outside for a drink or meal, they even have an outdoor sofa.

Colemere is one of Shropshire's most beautiful meres. Almost entirely surrounded by woodland and grassland, it's a haven for wildlife - keep an eye out for wildfowl and wading birds, wildflowers including a number of different species of orchid.

Lots to see along here

He was fiercely looking after his family, you don't mess with these guys Plus the Sculpture trail along the canal bank

Love the letterbox decorations for the Queens Jubilee

Parked at the Mere £1hour for parking. Set off through the town to the canal Basin.

New owners, good outdoor café bar, wouldn't sell me a duck though.

Nicely situated sadly not cyclists friendly place

scenic lake and surroundings

Nice wide tow path, but can get muddy and has lots of tree roots so be careful when cycling.

The meres and mosses of northern Shropshire are rather unique places and Ellesmere's is the largest of the lot. The lake lies alongside the historic town and is surrounded by lovely parkland and gardens, particularly popular in the warmer months. Home to thriving wildlife, the Mere is a fascinating place, left by receding glaciers eons ago. Dawn and dusk, winter or summer, this lake has many personalities and all are stunning. In the summertime, you can hire rowing boats and mess about on the water.

Great destination for a ride. Good coffee, good service and brilliant flap jack.

Great cafe / restaurant right next to a big lake full of swans and ducks. Outdoor seating and cosy indoors and clean loos.
