Saint Winifred's Well
This section is mostly canal towpath. The canal is still being restored, bringing new life to the heritage waterway which carried limestone from the quarry at Llanymynech.
The path to St. Winifred's Well (shown above) is at SJ321249.
It is possible to divert and visit Oswestry by using Wat's Dyke Path from Measbury Marsh.
