Having travelled down the 20 locks yesterday the countryside and terrain around the canal has certainly changed, we have left behind the narrow tree lined route carved through the rock into more open countryside.
As we travelled towards Nantwich the canal seemed to tower over the nearby villages particularly as we crossed this rather pretty aqueduct.
We travelled beyond Nantwich as the moorings we were hoping to stop on were full. Along the tow path in Nantwich there were several wooden carvings, have to confess I couldn't actually work out what they were meant to be, let me know if you can see what it is supposed to be.
The Llangollen canal shoots off just past Nantwich, we are thinking that we will travel this once we have been to Chester. Just round the bend is the Middlewich branch, I have driven past this on numerous occasions on the way to Chester, thinking wouldn't it be nice to be on the boat now!
