Restoration work in progress on Montgomery branch of Shropshire Union Canal.
Restoration work in progress on Montgomery branch of Shropshire Union Canal.
Montgomery Canal, every canal lovers dream. Gleaming in white and black paint the new lift bridge on the Montgomery Canal at Morton farm is nearly completed. It is built to the traditional design in oak. It will be used as a cattle crossing for the nearby farm. The water level is slowly rising as water is allowed to seep in at Gronwen wharf.
Montgomery Canal as many people wanted to see it. Canal is now almost full of water, it is about 150mm below the canal at Gronwen Wharf and still trickling in. Presumably it is still leaking a bit as all the banks get well wetted.
The Current Limit of Navigation. The Montgomery Canal, ran from Lower Frankton on the Wales / England border southward to Newtown in Powys. A major restoration project is slowly seeing this canal returned as a navigable waterway. Gronwen Wharf, pictured above, is the current limit to navigation from the main canal network. There is also a fully restored length of the canal north and south from Welshpool. 47015

7.8/10 Good! (1,005 reviews)
It is a wonderful historic building, but very run down . Some parts, eg the listed ballroom is closed needing roof repairs. Threadbare carpets, although bedding and towels changed each day there was poor bathroom supplies. I believe it is for sale. So fingers crossed because it’s in a good position ...

The Stable was a fantastic stay, really clean and the hosts were really welcoming. The Stables is secluded but well worth the drive to it. It was so quiet and peaceful and the log fire a really welcome bonus that made for a very cosy stay.

Had a wonderful stay in the cottage. Underfloor heating was fantastic and the beds were very comfortable. Rosemary was very welcoming and left us a beautiful lemon cake in the kitchen. Don't think I've seen so many excellent reviews on any property and they are all well deserved.
