By Road
Approaching from the South on the A41
As you approach Whitchurch turn left at the roundabout following signs for Wrexham (A525). Go straight across the next roundabout still following signs for Wrexham (A525). At the next roundabout (Little Chef and ESSO garage on your right) you need to turn left (still A525 Wrexham) and you will see the entrance to our hire base just 50 metres along this road on the right.
Approaching from the East on the A525
As you approach Whitchurch, follow the signs for Wrexham (A525). This will take you along a new by-pass to the South and then to the West of Whitchurch.
At the third roundabout along the by-pass, (Little Chef and ESSO garage on your right) you need to turn left (still A525 Wrexham) and you will see the entrance to our hire base just 50 metres along this road on the right.
Approaching from the West on the A525
Follow the road through the village until you come to a pedestrian crossing controlled by traffic lights. Immediately beyond this pedestrian crossing turn right into Bear Hill.
Follow the road up the hill until, as you leave the village, you pass over a railway bridge followed closely by a canal bridge. The Marina entrance is then on your left about 200 metres beyond the Canal Bridge.
