Ticket to Ride … the Montgomery Canal

Volunteers at Llanymynech Canal Wharf who offer boat trips on the Montgomery Canal between England and Wales have launched a new Season Ticket for 2025.

The ticket gives the ticket holder and up to three guests unlimited travel on the short section of canal from Llanymynech Heritage Area and is an ideal way for local people and visitors to support the community trip boat operated each summer.
