This bridge is probably out of service for the time being, due to a nearby breach in the canal.

some parts of towpath are overgrown and muddy

St Alkmund’s Church is a captivating Grade I-listed building. Founded in 912 AD, the church was initially built of white stone, which is why the town is called Whitechurch. However, in 1711 the tower collapsed and had to be rebuilt in red sandstone ashlar, which is why the ‘white church’ looks a little redder than you might expect.

I had the chance to see the bridge lift ! The pub next to it was great … some years ago but now turned for the worse ( do nit order a cappuccino unless you like tepid milked coffee).

Another of the great old-fashioned canal lift-up bridges, definitely worth cycling over.

Lift bridge just outside Wrenbury. If you try really hard you can imagine your in the Netherlands crossing a small canal!

Focal point of the nice town of Whitchurch. The town takes its name from the white stone originally used to make the church, way back in around the 10th Century AD. A very impressive building and well worth checking out if you have time to stop.

Manually operated bridge, old simply technology and it still works fine. Good to see when boats go under…

Beautifully located peaceful church, could be attended

Impressive church, worth seeing inside as well.

The canal wharf at Wrenbury Bridge is rather picturesque and a lovely place to stop for a picnic. This historic lifting bridge lets narrowboats pass and is great fun to watch in operation. On a sunny day, the canal looks like it should be on a postcard, particularly if boats are moored up. Wrenbury is small but lovely and you can find a bite to eat in one of its cafes. There are two pubs at the canal bridge.

The Llangollen Canal has some gorgeous old lifting bridges which have been in operation for generations. The Tilstock Park Bridge is a great example and must be hand operated by boaters who want to pass. If you're lucky, you might get to see it lifted and a boat pass through; perhaps cross it first though, so you don't have to wait!

The 'moss' in Brown Moss actually refers to a peat bog rather than any particularly mossy nature. This reserve is teeming with wildlife from insects to birds and has several walking trails criss-crossing its modest expanse. Largely a marsh and wetland area, some of the residents here include great-crested newts, dragonflies and frogs. This is one of the country's most important reserves for plant species too, so come with keen eyes, ready to spot unusual flora.

Grindley Brook is a little village just outside Whitchurch on the border of Shropshire, Cheshire and Wales. It's home to six canal locks, three of which form a staircase that lowers the canal (or raises it, depending on which way you're going!). If you're lucky enough to visit when boats are going up or down the staircase, it's worth while hanging around to watch them complete the logistical challenge.

Built around 1800, this is a roving bridge spanning the Llangollen Canal. Roving bridges are canal bridges designed to allow horses to cross the canal when the towpath switches from one side to the other. A Grade II-listed structure, this historic bridge is one of many fascinating spans on the canal.

Whitchurch Canal Arm ramble, just enough for the Grandkids.

Beautiful Church overlooking Big Mere

Located on the edge of Marbury village, Big Mere is a pretty stretch of water home to diverse wildlife. Here, you will find bird species from Goosander to Egret as well as many fish. The lake is a designated Site of Specific Scientific Interest and popular place to fish. St Michael's Church stands on the edge of the lake, adding to the picturesque setting. The lake is a lovely place for a picnic.
