Montgomery Canal
The Montgomery Canal (or Montgomeryshire Canal), known colloquially as "The Monty", is a partially restored canal in Powys, in eastern Wales, and in northwest Shropshire, in western England. Originally planned to run from Llanymynech to Newtown via Welshpool, the canal is today considered to run 33 miles from the Llangollen Canal to Newtown.
River Vyrnwy
The River Vyrnwy is a river which flows through northern Powys, Wales, and Shropshire, England. The river used to be sourced from the many rivers and streams running off the mountains surrounding the Vyrnwy valley. However, since the Lake Vyrnwy dam was built in the 1880s, the river has flowed directly from the base of the dam. The river runs for 39.7 miles, and the last 8 miles form part of the Welsh/English border between Powys and Shropshire.
West Felton
West Felton is a village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. At the 2001 census the parish, which also includes the settlements of Rednal, Grimpo and Haughton, had a population of 1,380. The village originally grew around a Norman castle, whose motte lies next to the church. It was recorded in the Domesday Book as Feltone, and as "Felton by le Knokyn" in 1303. The name Felton probably represents a combination of Old English feld, "open land", and tun, "settlement".
Maesbury
Maesbury is a small scattered community in Shropshire, England, south of the town of Oswestry, falling within the Oswestry Rural parish. Maesbury traditionally consists of five hamlets: Ball, Gwernybrenin, Newbridge, Maesbury and Penisbury Marsh, though the wider area now includes Aston and Woolston. Maesbury Marsh is at the southern end of the area. There is a public house here, located by the main road bridge over Montgomery Canal, called the Navigation Inn.
Knockin Castle
Knockin Castle was situated in the village of Knockin on Shropshire between Oswestry and Shrewsbury. This was a motte and bailey castle founded by Guy le Strange between 1154 and 1160 and it remained the principal holding of the Strange family for most of the Middle Ages. The castle was damaged in the First Barons' War during the reign of King John and then repaired by John le Strange. It was described as being 'ruinous' in 1540.
