  • Llangollen & Return Chester Or Ellesmere Port & Return
    Chester or Ellesmere Port & Llangollen & return return The Cheshire Ring Four Counties Ring Llangollen & return Guides: P3, N4, L8, G20 · From Whitchurch 7 nights, 4 hours per day, 4 locks The Llangollen Canal is arguably the most beautiful canal on the whole system and combines the gentle countryside of Shropshire and the more dramatic landscape of the Welsh border. It boasts one of the most striking features on the UK canals - the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct which can be reached from both Whitchurch and Wrenbury in a week or 4 night mid week break (you will not be able to cross over the aqueduct in a 3 night weekend break). Unusually, this canal has a flow of 2mph as it feeds other canals, so the outbound journey will always be slower than on the way back. The last locks are at New Marton, half way between Ellesmere and Chirk. From there on, as it clings to the hillside contours, an enchanting blend of aqueducts and tunnels takes the canal, lock free, to Llangollen. New visitor moorings in Llangollen are now available, but charges do apply (£5.00 per night per boat, need to arrive by 4.30pm). Take a steam train ride www.llangollen-railway.co.uk from Llangollen up the Dee Valley or visit the ruins of Castell Dinas Bran. Chester or Ellesmere Port & return Guides: P3, N4, L8 Chester, 7 nights, 5 hours per day, 66 locks For Ellesmere Port add 1.5 hours per day and 8 locks On this popular countryside route the locks are well spaced for easy cruising.

  • Routes from Kings Bromley
    ‘Take a break in the slow lane and enjoy a more relaxed pace of life.’ www.marinecruises.co.uk Tel: 01244 373911 Step back into a period when speed was classed as hours per mile – rather than the other way round –cruising along a waterway that permits you to breathe the fresh, clean air that’s freely available outside our towns and cities. You’ll share the peaceful world with moorhens, coots, grebes, herons as well as the amazing kingfisher, all of whom have made the canal their home. You’ll travel when you want and stop and tie-up when the mood takes you, giving you an unparalleled level of freedom to explore gardens, parks and country houses as and when you feel inclined. Castles too, plus museums and other sites of interest are dotted along the canal’s winding miles, ensuring an ever-changing panorama –making every day different from the last. Working the locks, steering your boat and other crew activities creates a uniquely fun-working atmosphere that brings all the team on board together. The Llangollen Canal is probably the most beautiful canal in Britain, its scenery changing from isolated sheep pastures to ancient peat mosses, from tree lined lakes to the foothills of Snowdonia. There are locks, tunnels, castles, villages, pubs and the magnificent aqueducts at Chirk and Pontcysyllte which have been awarded World Heritage status. From our new Llangollen and Shropshire Union Canal base at Swanley Bridge Marina you can cruise the full length of the Llangollen canal. You can also start to circumnavigate the Four Counties Ring within a few hours, and reach Chester or be on the Cheshire Ring, Macclesfield canal or Caldon Canal in a few days.

  • Colwich Neighbourhood Plan
    Colwich Neighbourhood Plan 1 Colwich Neighbourhood Plan Foreword, Welcome on behalf of Colwich Parish Council to the plan for the future of Colwich & the Haywoods Work on this Neighbourhood Plan commenced following an opportunity offered in the Government’s Localism proposals in early 2011. To achieve its completion has taken considerable effort, and is no small achievement. This Plan has been generated from a wide variety of surveys and consultation events including public meetings with residents and other stakeholders, businesses, landowners and developers. Throughout its preparation, we have kept all parties informed through meetings, the Parish web-site, Social Media and the Parish Newsletter. Much of the work behind this plan has been carried out on a voluntarily basis by Colwich Parish Council’s Neighbourhood Plan committee, complimented by a number of residents who were co-opted to bring additional expertise and experience. Additional support and assistance has been provided by officers of Stafford Borough Council, Planning Aid and the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust. Although we have enlisted the help of a paid administrator, we have been determined to complete as much as possible of the plan by ourselves so that we can say it has been prepared by and for the people who live and work in the Parish of Colwich. This Plan now describes the desires, hopes and aspirations of the majority of Parish residents and stakeholders for the Parish through to 2031. We will take the opportunity to review the plan every 5 years or so to ensure that circumstances and events haven’t demanded that some aspects require reconsideration.
