Blackwater Meadow Marina sits on the Llangollen Canal on the outskirts of Ellesmere, a historic market town in Shropshire.

It serves as a well-equipped access point to one of Britain's most celebrated waterways, with routes leading west into Wales toward Llangollen — passing the UNESCO World Heritage Site Pontcysyllte Aqueduct — or southeast through the Shropshire countryside.

The marina offers narrowboat hire for weekly breaks and short stays, as well as day boat hire.

On-site boatyard services include repairs, maintenance, and a dry dock for survey work, making it a practical stop for private boat owners as well as holiday visitors.
