 Information:
With beautiful scenery, picture postcard villages and plenty to do including 21 locks to negotiate! Blackwater Meadow Marina makes an excellent choice for your canal holiday starting point.
At Blackwater you'll get a fantastic canal experience with plenty of historic building and monuments to enjoy along your route. One of the most spectacular sites is Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, built in 1805, which crosses over the River Dee some 130 feet below.
The marina is located on the outskirts of Ellesmere town (not to be confused with Ellesmere Port) which is an old Shropshire market town. With its picturesque views over the Welsh countryside with the tranquillity disturbed only by the occasional passing narrow boat on the Llangollen Canal. The town is serviced by a short arm of the canal which serviced the old mills still visible today. A renovation plan is under discussion to make this an area of canal side tea shops and bars which will be a vast change from the vista of disused factories and warehouses which present a snapshot of years gone by.
