More good weather - Brewood

Cowley Cutting

Aqueduct over the A5 (road also built by Telford)

A day of pootling down the Shroppie as the fine weather continues. We started at 8:45 and filled up with water. By 12:30 we had reached Brewood (pronounced "brood"), a large village by the canal. We had lunch on board and then spent an hour looking round the few shops and the interesting church whose highpoint was a set of alabaster tombs of the Gifford family dating from the 16th and 17th centuries.

We decided to staythe night out in the country and so we cruised for a further 45 minutes south of Brewood where we are now moored.
