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.

The wharf visitor centre is open between 1.30 – 4.30pm on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays from Good Friday until the end of September each year and is a popular destination for visitors to the area as well as many local families. Light refreshments and ice creams are always available.

The new 2025 season ticket costs £50 and is available to purchase online or at the visitor centre during usual opening hours.

Said Graham Deakin, Chair of the volunteer group that runs the visitor centre and boat trips: “We wanted to offer a ticket option for the boat that would allow people to come back and visit several times over the summer.

“One of the lovely things about our short stretch of canal is that the things to see change over the course of the season. From the frogs and tadpoles in the spring through to beautiful dragonflies and damselflies in the summer plus the beautiful local swans and their cygnets any time between May and July – there’s always something different to see by the canal.

“We wanted to give people the opportunity to come back several times without breaking the bank so our new season ticket is ideal for families and friends.”
As well as the season ticket, the group offers single boat trips at £5 per adult and £2.50 per child.

Said Graham: “We welcome hundreds of people to our visitor centre each year and combined with a visit to Llanymynech Heritage Area, and our exhibition in the old stable block, we offer an inexpensive afternoon out for local people and holiday-makers.”

There’s limited parking available at the wharf and in the village of Llanymynech.
