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

Audlem is a stunning little town with a striking church and high street. Nice to see a place decked out with Union Flags.

Salisbury Hill is the location of the camp of the Yorkist army following the battle of Blore Heath during the Civil War.

SITE OF THE PARISH FIRE STATION. HORSE DRAWN ENGINES FROM THIS PLACE SERVED THE TOWN FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY. THE ALARM WAS RAISED BY RINGING THE BUTTERCROSS BELL AND THE HORSE COLLECTED FROM A FIELD BELOW PHOENIX BANK.

Since 1817…. In a stirring tale of over 200 years of secret recipes, historic gingerbread fraternities and rival gingerbread bakeries, the rural and historic Shropshire town of Market Drayton has witnessed an unrivalled heritage associated with the celebrated and spicy gingerbread biscuit. Market Drayton’s first contribution to gingerbread is said to be linked to the spice trade routes & Clive of India, who hails from the town, and indeed, there are records of gingerbread being made by a Roland Lateward, malster, in Shropshire Street from 1793. However, the Billington’s Gingerbread story begins in 1817, when we first meet Mr Thomas who was baking the gingerbread in the basement of his bakery and confectionary shop. Whether already conscious of the value of his recipe or just out of family pride, in 1829 Mr Thomas passed the recipe down to his nephew W. Harper. Closely guarded for a further two generations, in 1864, Mr E. H. Harper passed the recipe to his cousin, Richard Billington, and hence the famous ‘Billington’s Gingerbread’ brand was born! https://billingtonsgingerbread.co.uk/

AN EARLY GEORGIAN BUILDING IT WAS THE TOWN POST OFFICE FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS UNTIL 1863 WHEN IT BECAME A "LADIES' SCHOOL” WITH LATER A BOYS' PREPARATORY CLASS UNTIL ABOUT 1907. IT IS NAMED AFTER ITS MID VICTORIAN OWNER. RESTORED IN 1986.

Audlem is an attractive place--beware of the traffic if you are on bike though!

Lovely looking old building and lots of interesting bits around it, look a bit neglected though unfortunately

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.

Audlem is a sizeable picturesque canal side village with a long history that goes back to the doomsday book. Audlem is famous for its run of 15 locks designed by Thomas Telford to raise the canal up from the Cheshire plain. The walk along the locks is regarded as one of the finest walks in lowland England.

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).

Great food and drink. Very popular on Sundays need to book.

A flight of locks on the Shroppie

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.

Impressive church, worth seeing inside as well.

Quiet country pedalling around the canals, calming and tranquil.

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.

A nice place for a short rest
