Location
Base 27 is situated close to the Ellesmere Arm on the Llangollen Canal which offers scenic beauty and breathtaking engineering. Close to Llangollen if you want to visit on a short break.
The base is a starting point for no less then four routes, to the ancient city of Chester, the Cheshire ring, the Llangollen Canal and the Four Counties Ring. These give many choices for both short break and one-week cruises, or longer.
