SUP Locations UK - Llangollen Canal - Chirk - Pontcysyllte Aquaduct

Thanks again for tuning back in! Buy me a coffee at ko-fi.com/clutchsup it's always appreciated.

This video shows two locations to set off and paddle from (technically three if you count Chirk Aqueduct) on the Llangollen canal.

If you've watched the video already... I apologise again for my pronunciation and ask that if you ever see me paddling, DON'T ask me to say it again ;) But DO say hello!

Our first location is the Poachers Inn just outside of Chirk, next door to it is our first (free) car park. https://w3w.co/condense.fitter.mondays

As I updated on the video, the Lion Quays Resort welcomes visitors on their boards and are quite happy to let you park (for free) there and launch onto the canal at no cost, just make sure you have a River + Canal license! http://www.lionquays.co.uk 01691 684300

The parking area as Chirk aqueduct is a two minute walk away from the canal, I pump up at the car park and carry my board. Turn right as you face the road in the car park, walk a couple of hundred yards and there is a path down to the canal on the left.There is now also a cafe at the car park, Cafe Wylfa http://www.caffiwylfa.com 01691 770492

Two parking areas near to the canal at Pontcysllte, 'official' one (https://w3w.co/rappings.flip.belly)at £3 for the day and the Chapel Cafe's (https://w3w.co/mixes.twists.kipper) (http://www.pontcysylltechapeltearoom.... 01978 812786) for £2 for the day. The Cafe's car park does get locked however and I'm not sure at what time. You will have to ask.Toilets here https://w3w.co/processor.merely.works

The Telford Inn is a great pub and a great space outside for a drink and food. http://thetelford.com 01978 820469 https://w3w.co/vegans.directly.grudging
