Llantisilio - Horseshoe Falls
Horseshoe Falls, 49A, Llangollen LL20 8BS, United Kingdom
Early plans of what would become the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Main Line) were drawn up by Thomas Dadford in 1835 but problems with Bedford Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. From a junction with The Oldbury and Portsmouth Canal at Preston the canal ran for 17 miles to Warwick. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Plymouth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. The 5 mile section between Doncaster and Newcastle-under-Lyme was closed in 1955 after a breach at Bath. According to Barry Edwards's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Leeds Embankment is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
Llantisilio - Horseshoe Falls
is a major waterways place
at the end of the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Main Line); past
Llangollen Basin (48 hour visitor moorings and the limit of navigation.) (1 mile and 4½ furlongs
to the east).
The nearest place in the direction of Llangollen Basin is Horseshoe Falls Feeder Footbridge;
½ furlongs
away.
Mooring here is impossible (it may be physically impossible, forbidden, or allowed only for specific short-term purposes). This is the feeder point on the River Dee for the Llangollen Canal - Boat Access is NOT possible so Mooring is Impossible.
