Wrenbury Lift Bridge on the Llangollen Canal

Highlight • Bridge

The canal wharf at Wrenbury Bridge is rather picturesque and a lovely place to stop for a picnic. This historic lifting bridge lets narrowboats pass and is great fun to watch in operation. On a sunny day, the canal looks like it should be on a postcard, particularly if boats are moored up.

Wrenbury is small but lovely and you can find a bite to eat in one of its cafes. There are two pubs at the canal bridge.

The Cheshire Cat Pub

Highlight • Pub

Now a pub, but formerly an Alms House for widows, converted from cottages in 1676. This building has extremely strange and uneven lines, looking slightly twisted. Note the mounting steps for horse riders built alongside it at the front.

Town Bridge

This bridge, built in 1803, lies on the site of earlier bridges and near to the river-crossing of the Roman settlement. On the medieval bridge, first recorded in the late 14th century, were four shops. There was also a chapel dedicated to St Anne.
