Lion Quays

 
Lion Quays Waterside Resort, A5, Rhoswiel SY11 3EN, United Kingdom
 
Information about the place
Lion Quays is a place on the waterways on the Shropshire Union Canal (Llangollen Canal - Main Line) between Chirk Aqueduct (northern end) (The English - Welsh Border runs across the middle of the aqueduct.) (1 mile and 6 furlongs to the northwest) and Frankton Junction (Junction of Llangollen and Montgomery Canals) (5 miles and 2 furlongs and 2 locks to the east).
 
 
The nearest place in the direction of Chirk Aqueduct (northern end) is Moreton Bridge No 17W; ½ furlongs away.
 
The nearest place in the direction of Frankton Junction is Belmont Bridge No 16W; 1¾ furlongs away.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring in Lion Quays is Fair - all the pontoons are a bit silted upl. You do not have to eat or drink here for a mooring, there's even a complimentary (hmm, rather than complementary) drink! There are two spaces inline on the offside too.

Additional information

The Lion Quays Pub/Restaurant/Hotel complex offers excellent free overnight mooring for those using the facilities. Lovely food and good service. We visited on 2nd September 2008 and can recommend a stop there. There is a petrol station opposite the Lion Quays on the A5.
