Hack Green
Interesting bit of recent history here. There's a 'secret' bunker within easy walking distance. It's a well kept relic of the 'Cold War' days and it's open to the public
Take a look at their informative website.

Coole Pilate
Moored here for the night at the excellent facility provided by British Waterways. Several bench type picnic tables, each with a barbecue stand alongside. We would have tried a barbecue but for the fact It's raining heavily. A pleasant meal on board awaits then.
Note: I'm reminded that this facility was provided, and many more besides, by The Shropshire Union Canal Society with support from British Waterways. I'm happy to put the record straight and also acknowledge the wonderful works undertaken by SUCS and other similar organisations
here's a link to the excellent Shropshire Union Canal Society website
The picnic area is provided and maintained by volunteers of the Shropshire Union Canal Society, with support from British Waterways. The Canal Society has also provided many other visitor mooring sites along the Llangollen and Shropshire Union Canals.
ReplyDeleteThank you for providing this information. The area here at Coole Pilate really is an excellent facility
