Shropshire Union Canal

The Shropshire Union Canal stretches from Ellesmere Port  through Chester, to Autherley Junction, Wolverhampton. The Middlewich Branch runs from Middlewich (Trent & Mersey Canal) to Barbridge , where it joins the main Shropshire Union. Our Canal Guide shows you everything boaters might need in each city, town & village - including shops, pubs & restaurants, post offices and laundry services.
