The highest canal aqueduct in the world, carrying narrowboats across the River Dee in the Vale of Llangollen, eighteen arches built of stone and cast iron. Completed in 1805 having taken ten years to design and build, length 307m, drop to the river 38m. With a footpath on one side and no path or handrail on the other, it’s a long way down! Spectacular views across the vale to Froncysyllte and the viaduct that carries the railway line. A sunny cloudy day with a chilly wind.
