Travelling from England to Wales
Since the beginning of May some Covid restrictions have been lifted and it is now possible to travel from England to Wales and vice versa. Here a pleasure boat is navigating the very narrow Chirk aqueduct over the Ceiriog Valley from England to Wales. According to the welcome signs at both ends of the canal, it is no man's land. At the side of the aqueduct is the viaduct which carries rail traffic in both directions.
The aqueduct was designed by civil engineer Thomas Telford. The foundation stone was laid on 17 June 1796 and it was completed in 1801. It forms part of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct World Heritage Site. The aqueduct consists of ten arches, each with a span of 40 feet (12 m). The water level is 65 feet (20 m) above the ground and 70 feet (21 m) above the River Ceiriog.
The railway viaduct at Chirk which was erected in 1846-8 and rebuilt in 1858 was the work of the Scottish engineer Henry Robertson. The 100 feet high stone structure was built for the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway and has ten spans with round arches between.
