Shropshire Canals

North Shropshire is home to 46 miles of canals, including the Shropshire Union Canal and the Llangollen Canal. The county also includes an 11-mile stretch of the Montgomery Canal, which joins the Llangollen Canal at Lower Frankton, near Ellesmere.

Some of these images also appear in our book, A Year in Shropshire, which is published by Merlin Unwin Books and is available to buy through this website (large format, £20).
