The Shropshire Union Canal is a peaceful haven that weaves through some of the most stunning landscapes in England.

Whether you’re planning a gentle walk along the towpaths, a leisurely narrowboat holiday, or simply a day out exploring the local sights, the canal promises unforgettable moments at every turn.

Built in the 19th century by the renowned engineer Thomas Telford, the Shropshire Union Canal is a marvel of industrial heritage.

Its straight sections and grand engineering features reflect the ingenuity of the era, with highlights including the impressive locks at Audlem and the soaring aqueducts that dot the route.
