Colemere Collywobbles, Colemere, off the A528 just past Cockshutt. A 1.5 mile circular route around Colemere which takes you along the Shropshire Union Canal. Cole Mere is like a giant’s tummy-button filled with icy water. It has steep sides and is really deep. It was made when a huge chunk of ice melted. It was dumped and buried by a glacier in the last Ice Age 11,000 years ago. A canal is nothing like a tummy button. It’s a very long trench filled with water. This one was built over 200 years ago. Before jets, motorways and even railways, canals carried everything. Horses would pull special barges called ‘tub boats’. If you follow the towpath over the bridge you will pass Blake Mere and eventually reach Ellesmere after about 4 kilometres.
