Between the famous village of Whittington – home to the first Lord Mayor of London – and the lovely town of Ellesmere, lies the tiny hamlet of Welsh Frankton. With its host of period buildings dating from Tudor, Georgian and Victorian times, the pretty market town of Ellesmere can be found nestled between a beautiful lake - or 'mere', to the locals - and the Shropshire/Llangollen Canal. Not only is the town situated in the picturesque Shropshire Lakeland, but it is also steeped in history. Originally a fortified Anglo-Saxon settlement, this quaint little holiday resort is host to the charming Church of Saint Mary, with its fifteenth Century roof, and was the home of Thomas Telford during work on the Shropshire/Llangollen Canal. With pubs, shops and restaurants nearby, this is a great location from which to explore everything this region has to offer.
