Llangollen Canal
Bridge 13 – Bridge 15
General Information
This stretch of the Llangollen Canal offers good fishing in and around the pretty Cheshire village of Wrenbury. The canal here is both quite shallow and clear and abounds with weed growth combining to make a rich aquatic habitat. As a result, the fish grow well, and specimens of all canal species can be found here.
Directions
Heading west along the M56, leave at junction 10 and follow the A49 towards Whitchurch. Continue along the A49 through to Tarporley. Pick up the A51 here towards Nantwich. After 6.5 miles turn right at a set of traffic lights onto Cuckoo Lane/A534 and go straight across at the crossroads (1 mile). After 300m turn right onto Swanley Lane and turn right at the crossroads (.7 mile) onto Baddiley Lane. Follow this road for 1.5 miles and park on the left just over the canal bridge. The club’s stretch starts here at bridge no. 15 and extends in a northerly direction to bridge no. 13.
