The Llangollen canal runs from Llangollen,
over the spectacular Telford aqueduct at Pontcysyllte, and across the
border to join up with
the Grand Canal. Originally designed to haul goods, it is now enjoyed
by holiday makers in rented motorized canal barges. For those looking
to spend a pleasant couple of hours, it is possible to ride aboard the "Thomas
Telford" canal boat from Llangollen, across the Pontcysyllte aqueduct
130 feet above the River Dee, to Froncysyllte. It's a great 2-hour ride
with many lovely views.
