There have been some welcome improvements to the quality of the tow path in Chirk along the Llangollen Canal, so much so that it is possible to cycle to Llangollen in reasonable comfort. But the quality is really poor as the canal goes into the Midlands under the main road to Ellesmere.
As an off road cyclist I would love to see more investment in canal tow paths to encourage people to enjoy fairly direct routes to local villages and towns (Gobowen, St. Martins, Weston Rhyn, Ellesmere, Whitchurch etc), but I understand that funding is being cut to British Waterways.
