Canal Boat Club At Blackwater Meadow

Canal Boat Club at Blackwater Meadow Marina is situated on the Llangollen Canal, one of Britain's most popular canals. There is twenty miles of lock free cruising through beautiful scenery, and the Pontcysyllt Aqueduct, which is considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the Waterways. The marina is situated within walking distance of Ellesmere, a picturesque market town. Some of the attractions of this idyllic town include a weekly market held at the Market Hall, several traditional pubs and restaurants and a good choice of shops and local amenities.

The narrowboats at Canal Boat Club At Blackwater Meadow Marina in Ellesmere, Shropshire really are well equipped with a four burner gas hob, grill, oven, television and cd player. If you decide to remain moored within the Marina, staff will link you into mains electricity. Please be aware that beds can often be smaller or narrower than at home.

Please also note you will need a minimum of two fit and active adults, or one adult and a child over the age of 16 years for a four berth boat, although it is easier with three. For a six berth boat three adults. If on arrival you do not meet these requirements you will not be allowed to cruise and will be offered the choice of remaining in the Marina. Your boat is designed, licensed and insured for either four or six berths, depending on its size and no more than that number may sleep on board. Luggage space is at a premium and we suggest that you bring as little as possible and folding canvas or nylon bags are best. Avoid bulky suitcases at all costs. Bring flat shoes, trainers and wellington boots if you can. Full training will be given at the Marina. Blackwater Meadow boats are not stationary, they are for travelling up and down the canal.
