Shropshire Union Canal – Shady Oak

Bridge 109 – Bridge 111

General Information

This stretch of the Shropshire Union Canal offers some outstanding sport in beautiful surrounds, nestling in the shadow of Beeston Castle. The Shady Oak length has something of a reputation for holding large shoals of bream and roach and will naturally be home to the large pike that prey on them. This length is also known to hold large carp as well as the occasional large eel.

Directions

Heading west on the M56 take junction 10 onto the A49 towards Whitchurch. Continue along the A49 through Cuddington, Sandiway and by passing Tarporley. At the village of Tiverton turn right onto Huxley Lane, follow Huxley Lane for approximately one kilometre before turning left onto Bates Mill Lane. Follow this road and park on the verge just before the Shady Oak public house.
