Open throughout the year a warm welcome awaits you at The Willeymoor Lock Tavern.

Located on the Cheshire - Shropshire border, the Willeymoor is a family run traditional country pub.
Formerly a Lock Keepers cottage, converted into a small licenced cafe in the 60's, then transformed into a pub in 1978 by Elsie Gilkes and family, the current owners.

The Willeymoor is well known for its waterside location beside a working lock on the Llangollen canal … a perfect setting to gongoozle !

Outside there is a large beer garden, canal side seating, terrace and a children’s play area.
Popular with locals, walkers, boaters and tourists  - be it a quick pint, lunchtime snack, pit-stop from a hard day cruising or a special occasion, informal and unpretentious, we offer a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for all to enjoy. 
We have an array of classic pub dishes complimented by a selection of hand-pull cask ales, beers, spirits, wines, hot beverages and soft drinks.
Children and well behaved dogs (on leads) are most welcome.
