Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The River Weaver near Audlem, Cheshire. Taken from the Shropshire Union Canal towpath a few metres south of the aqueduct. Compare this image with the sun drenched scene with one taken a few minutes later. 1703284

The River Weaver just over 50 miles (80 km) long. Its source is in the hills of west Cheshire near Peckforton Castle, from where it flows in a south-easterly direction towards the border with Shropshire, fed by tributaries some of which rise in north Shropshire. It flows through the village of Wrenbury, then passes near Audlem, where it starts to flow approximately northwards across the Cheshire Plain towards Nantwich, then Northwich, then north-westwards across north Cheshire.

Wiki says: "the river formerly joined the River Mersey at Weston Marsh, but since the construction of the Manchester Ship Canal, begun in 1887, it has flowed into the canal, from where surplus water enters the Mersey by the Weaver sluices, just upstream of the junction."
