Your round trip begins in the historic docks of the National Waterways Museum in Ellesmere Port and takes you along the northern stretch of the famous ‘Shroppie’ towards Chester. Each cruise lasts approximately 30 minutes and includes a live historical commentary delivered by our knowledgeable volunteers.
As you make your way along the canal, you’ll hear stories of the waterways’ role in England’s industrial past – from bustling cargo traffic to canal-side life - while enjoying the rich and varied scenery, where nature and industry sit side by side.
Please note: these trips are volunteer-led so cruise times may vary. We recommend calling us on 0151 355 5017 before your visit to check availability.
