The Mere

The Mere at Ellesmere is an award winning Park with a beautiful lake with gardens, woodland walks and historic parkland on the edge of the medieval market town of Ellesmere. It is the largest of nine meres and mosses that can be found in the unique Shropshire landscape. The Mere Boathouse and Visitor Centre bring together the key public facilities in the park into one building. The kiosk which sits on the Promenade provides snacks and light refreshments. Canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding and boating are a great way to enjoy the Mere and are permitted all year round once a membership form is filled in and an annual fee of £20 is paid. The Ellesmere Boating Application should be completed and returned together with payment to the address on the form.
