Ellesmere

Ellesmere is a market town near Oswestry in north Shropshire, England, noteworthy for its closeness to a number of famous Meres. The community is found by the side of Ellesmere (aka 'the Mere'), among the largest natural meres in England outside the Lake District as well as among 9 antarctic meres in the area. ('glacial' suggests that the anxiety occupied by the plain was the area of a block of ice that lingered at the end of the last Glacial period). These meres are different from those in the Lake District in that they do not have a circulation of water into them to maintain the level. A man-made island in the Mere was constructed in 1812 from dirt removed throughout the production of the gardens at Ellesmere House. This was later called Moscow Island, as Napoleon was compelled to retreat from Moscow that year. The Mere has a site visitors' centre and also is popular with birdwatchers, a lot of whom check out to see grey herons nesting. There are 8 various other meres close by: Blakemere, Colemere, Crosemere, Kettlemere, Newtonmere, Whitemere, Sweatmere and also Hanmer Mere. The civil parish which constitutes the community is Ellesmere Urban; the surrounding parish, covering a large rural area, is Ellesmere Rural.
