MACCLESFIELD CANAL
MIDDLEWICH BRANCH
From Barbridge Junction to the Trent & Mersey is ten miles of narrow rural canal. Barbridge is a popular spot for mooring, probably due to the close proximity of Hurlston Junction and the Llangollan Canal

Looking up the Middlewich branch in the evening light, it can be quite magical at times with the strange light just before night fall. Plenty of mooring on this section of the canal.
