Ellesmere
Ellesmere is a market town near Oswestry in north Shropshire, England, notable for its proximity to a number of famous Meres. The town is found alongside Ellesmere (also known as 'the Mere'), among the largest all-natural meres in England outside the Lake District and among 9 antarctic meres in the location. ('glacial' implies that the anxiety occupied by the simple was the place of a block of ice that lingered at the end of the last Glacial epoch). These meres are various from those in the Lake District in that they do not have a flow of water into them to maintain the degree. An artificial island in the Mere was built in 1812 from soil removed during the making 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 visitors' centre as well as is preferred with birdwatchers, most of whom see to see grey herons nesting. There are eight various other meres nearby: Blakemere, Colemere, Crosemere, Kettlemere, Newtonmere, Whitemere, Sweatmere and Hanmer Mere. The civil church which makes up the community is Ellesmere Urban; the surrounding parish, covering a large rural area, is Ellesmere Rural.
