Canal Central offers a peaceful first-floor retreat in a quiet canalside
location on the Shropshire/Mid Wales border, with views across the small, but perfectly formed, historic Montgomery Canal to the Welsh hills beyond.
Just two miles from the market town of Oswestry and within half an hour’s drive of many popular attractions, this is an ideal base for relaxation and exploration alike.
Above the owners’ tearoom (opening hours: 10-4pm Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and accessed via open-tread steps, a thoughtfully arranged open-plan layout offers a bright living and dining area; alongside a well equipped kitchen. Patio doors lead to a private balcony, giving the option of outdoor dining, whilst taking full advantage of the tranquil canal views.
The property offers two comfortable bedrooms, one with a king size double, the other twin bedded, along with a spacious shower room (toilet and basin) and a further separate toilet, for added convenience. Bed linen, towels and WI-FI are all included for a comfortable, stress-free stay.
Situated on an eight acre site (shared with Canal Central’s discreet owners) guests can enjoy the canalside grounds, private parking for two cars is provided. Motorbike enthusiasts are particularly well catered for, with dedicated motorbike parking available. The hedged boundary has gates for easy access to the canal. Canoe hire is available, allowing for visits to the nearby pubs, by foot or water.
Canal Central is perfectly placed for discovering Shropshire; the Welsh Marches, Snowdonia and the coast. Nearby highlights include, the walled city of Chester, historic Shrewsbury and Llangollen, with its steam railway, horse drawn narrow boat trips and white water adventures.
Four National Trust properties: Powys and Chirk castles, Attingham Park and Erdigg, are all within half a hour’s drive.

About the area
Shrewsbury, England, is a delightful and historic town that provides a multitude of experiences for travelers. It's recognized for its excellently maintained medieval architecture, with approximately 600 listed buildings such as the Shrewsbury Castle and the Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. The town's slender alleyways and cobbled streets contribute to its vintage allure.
Among Shrewsbury's main attractions is the Quarry, an exquisite park that's ideal for leisurely walks. It houses the Dingle, a sunken garden crafted by famed gardener Percy Thrower. Although the annual Shrewsbury Flower Show is a significant event in the town, it does not take place in the Quarry but at another location within Shrewsbury.
The town also boasts a rich literary history. As Charles Darwin's birthplace, visitors can delve into his life at the Darwin Town Trail and the Shropshire Archives. Furthermore, Ellis Peters' Brother Cadfael series was largely inspired by this town.
Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate Shrewsbury's food scene which encompasses everything from traditional English pubs to modern restaurants serving global cuisine. The town also hosts several markets where vendors offer fresh produce, local meats, cheeses, among other products.
For shopping aficionados, Shrewsbury presents a blend of independent boutiques and mainstream brands. Wyle Cop is particularly renowned for its distinctive shops offering antiques, books, crafts among other items.
In summary, Shrewsbury merges history with contemporary amenities in an enchanting setting. Its scenic landscapes combined with its rich cultural heritage and delectable food offerings make it an attractive destination to visit.
