Located on the edge of Marbury village, Big Mere is a pretty stretch of water home to diverse wildlife. Here, you will find bird species from Goosander to Egret as well as many fish. The lake is a designated Site of Specific Scientific Interest and popular place to fish. St Michael's Church stands on the edge of the lake, adding to the picturesque setting. The lake is a lovely place for a picnic.

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.
