Llangollen Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

Flowing from Llangollen in North Wales to Hurleston in Cheshire, the Llangollen Canal is a beautiful waterway straddling the border between England and Wales. There are many picturesque spots along the canal: traditional narrowboats glide gently across the water as ducks swim by and anglers sit quietly on the banks.

The project of prominent engineers such as Thomas Telford, the canal has carried boats since 1795. Although it is no longer used for industry, many pleasure boats and holidaymakers still enjoy cruising the waters today.

St Alkmund's Church, Whitchurch

Highlight • Religious Site

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.
