Whixall - Shropshire

Enjoy a day out canal boating through the Shropshire countryside to Whitchurch and back

On a day out boating from our canal boat hire base at Whixall on the Prees Branch of the Llangollen Canal in Shropshire, you can head to the historic market town of Whitchurch. The lock-free journey, which takes just over two hours, travels through six peaceful miles of countryside, passing the medieval Pan Castle. Once at Whitchurch, you can moor up to explore the town with its half-timbered buildings, independent shops and restaurants, and way-marked circular walks.
