The River Dee feeds the canal, two aqueducts, two tunnels and all the locks downstream on the Llangollen stretch of the Shropshire Union Canal. A two mile walk along the towpath from the marina, past a shire horse called Dakota, he was pulling a ferry that took passengers along to the hotel, just short of the weir. This stretch of the canal is unnavigable so the moorings at the marina are the last stop. A cool, cloudy day with light winds.
