Welcome to Trent and Mersey Canal

The Trent and Mersey Canal is a 93-mile long canal that runs through the counties of Staffordshire, Cheshire, and Derbyshire in England. The canal was built in the late 18th century to connect the River Trent in Staffordshire to the River Mersey in Cheshire. The canal was designed by the famous engineer James Brindley and was completed in 1777. Today, the Trent and Mersey Canal is a popular destination for boaters, walkers, and cyclists.

One of the most picturesque sections of the Trent and Mersey Canal is in Cheshire. The canal runs through the heart of the county, passing through the towns of Middlewich, Sandbach, and Nantwich. The canal is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills, fields, and woodlands. The canal also passes through several historic sites, including the Anderton Boat Lift, which is a unique hydraulic lift that raises boats 50 feet from the River Weaver to the canal.

The Trent and Mersey Canal in Cheshire is a popular destination for boaters, walkers, and cyclists. The canal is home to a variety of wildlife, including ducks, swans, and herons. The towpath that runs alongside the canal is a popular route for walkers and cyclists, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The canal also passes through several charming towns and villages, where visitors can stop for a bite to eat or a drink in one of the many pubs and restaurants. Overall, the Trent and Mersey Canal in Cheshire is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to explore the beauty of the English countryside.
