Ellesmere
Ellesmere is a market community near Oswestry in north Shropshire, England, remarkable for its proximity to a number of noticeable Meres. The community is found by the side of Ellesmere (also known as 'the Mere'), one of the biggest natural meres in England outside the Lake District and among nine antarctic meres in the area. ('antarctic' indicates that the anxiety inhabited by the simple was the place of a block of ice that continued at the end of the last Ice Age). These meres are different from those in the Lake District because they do not have a flow of water right into them to maintain the level. A fabricated island in the Mere was created in 1812 from soil dug out throughout the production of the yards at Ellesmere House. This was later on called Moscow Island, as Napoleon was forced to pull away from Moscow that year. The Mere has a visitors' centre as well as is popular with birdwatchers, many of whom see to see grey herons nesting. There are 8 various other meres nearby: Blakemere, Colemere, Crosemere, Kettlemere, Newtonmere, Whitemere, Sweatmere and Hanmer Mere. The civil parish which makes up the community is Ellesmere Urban; the bordering parish, covering a big rural area, is Ellesmere Rural.
