Overview

A pleasant meander by the meres. On good tracks, minor roads and the Shropshire Union canal Llangollen branch towpath, passing through Welshampton and Ellesmere and beside Cole Mere, The Mere and Blake Mere. No stiles! Quite flat apart from minor undulations between coffee and lunch that allow for great views.

One stretch of minor road will require careful single file walking though we hope for little traffic. You may wish to bring a torch for the Ellesmere canal tunnel but not essential as there is a handrail and it is only 80m long.
