Ellesmere to Whixall Marina, Prees Branch Llangollen Canal
We have moored up this afternoon in a very quiet spot at the end of a short branch off the main Llangollen waterway, at a place called Whixall Marina. The canal continues on here, but is unnavigable and has become a nature reserve. We walked down the well trodden towpath, and yet again found a really serene and quiet situation, with a couple of attractive cottages alongside, with neatly tended vegetable gardens, and private gardens. No people! Our picture shows the water lilies and celandine growing quite unchecked where swans were nesting, totally unused to human intrusion.
Saw a couple of hotel boats leave Ellesmere this morning - a huge alsation on board one! not quite as we remember hotel boating!
