Wrenbury Lift Bridge on the Llangollen Canal

Highlight • Bridge

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.

Wirswall Hill Viewpoint

This is a lovely viewpoint overlooking the village of Marbury. A lovely place for a quick stop and energy bar.
Dreadful road to get there but not worse than any other Cheshire road!!
