Shropshire's Lakeland
The Lady Katherine is a lake steamer offering a regular service to the public, on the idyllic waters of Ellesmere, in the heart of the Shropshire Lake District. A quiet cruise on this 100 acre beautiful natural lake offers an unrivalled opportunity to see the abundant birdlife of the mere at close range and also the famous heronry on Moscow Island. Passengers will glide by the old boathouses of the local gentry, the Duke of Bridgewater’s eighteenth century Ellesmere House, and the sweeping lawns of the Cremorne gardens. Enjoy the romantic view of the dignified market town of Ellesmere, which climbs gently up from the lakeside to the ancient castle mound, all crowned with the tower of the 14th century church. This is surely England at her most graceful and Shropshire Steamboat look forward to welcoming you aboard.		 Journey back a 100 years
