Lovely Llangollen Canal

This 46 mile canal is a very popular one, due to the Welsh scenery and the huge aqueducts that carry the canal over river valleys. The Pontcysyllte is the tallest navigable aqueduct in the world, at 126 ft above the River Dee. Completed in 1805, it is a cast iron trough mounted on 18 stone pillars. We walked the 1000 ft length of the aqueduct and back, for some glorious views, and got to see family groups guiding their rented narrowboats across. What a nice holiday adventure they were having!もっと詳しく
