Dropped in on this little gem hoping to be able to spend some time painting pottery. We had a lovely friendly welcome and although it was quite full and we hadn’t booked they were able to accommodate us. I had my little boy with us who is not yet ready for a high chair but this wasn’t a problem at all! After ‘parking’ the pram downstairs we settled in upstairs and there was a lovely baby swing which we were able to use. A lovely touch and allowed me to have my hands free and for him to enjoy a swing! We had a fab time relaxing whilst painting our chosen pottery and enjoying a cuppa. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this lovely place for a great time with family and friends and especially children. They are so accommodating and go out of their way to help you. However I would suggest booking if you want a specific time or at busy periods.

8. Grindley Brook Locks

Reviewed By Adventurer780259
There appears to be two ways of accessing the Shropshire Union Canal at Grindley Brook. The best way is via the Lockside Cafe on the left as one travels to Chester from Whitchurch. The other way is opposite the Horse and Jockey pub which is a little further along the road to Chester. The road is dangerous so be careful. The canal with locks is found along a path next the Texaco Garage. The locks themselves are narrow and deep so please also be careful around these.
9. St Alkmunds Church

Reviewed By vivEngland - Preston, United Kingdom
I hadn’t heard of St Alkmund but apparently he was one of the sons of King Alhred of Northumbria and you can read his sad story on their website. The stained glass windows are gorgeous and worth calling in just to have a look at those, and you can see memorials to the Talbot family. There are concerts held in the Church and it would be lovely to have been able to attend those, but we live too far away.
10. Whitchurch and Grindley Brook

Ii pre-Covid times , we were on the Llangollen canal heading away from Whitchurch, when we came across this staircase of three locks. Lovely bit of engineering, lots of interesting little construction features and details. There was a very helpful volounteer on hand to assist us through the locks. Magic. On the way back we had to climb the locks again and this time stopped off for a light lunch at the wee cafe. Very nice, sitting out in the sun, watching other boats go through.
