Welcome to Crickheath Wharf

Crickheath Wharf is a picturesque location situated in the heart of Shropshire. It is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, who come to enjoy the tranquil surroundings and the stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The wharf is located on the Llangollen Canal, which is one of the most scenic waterways in the UK. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the towpath, or hire a narrowboat to explore the canal at their own pace.

The wharf is steeped in history and has played an important role in the development of the local area. It was once a bustling hub of activity, with boats transporting goods such as coal, timber, and iron to and from the nearby towns and cities. Today, the wharf is a peaceful haven, where visitors can escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and enjoy the simple pleasures of nature. The area is home to a variety of wildlife, including kingfishers, herons, and otters, making it a popular spot for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts.

Crickheath Wharf is also a popular destination for those interested in the industrial heritage of the area. The wharf is home to a number of historic buildings, including a blacksmith's forge and a former warehouse, which have been lovingly restored and converted into holiday cottages. Visitors can learn about the history of the wharf and the canal at the nearby museum, which features exhibits on the canal's construction and the lives of the people who lived and worked on it. Overall, Crickheath Wharf is a unique and fascinating destination that offers something for everyone, whether you're interested in history, nature, or simply enjoying the beauty of the countryside.
