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.

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.
