Wales - Pontcysyllte Aqueduct

Wales - Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct was built by Thomas Telford between 1795 and 1805. The aqueduct over the valley of the River Dee has 18 pillars; the highest ones come 38 meters above the water.

The Llangollen Canal runs over the aqueduct through a cast iron trough, which is more than 300 meters long, 3,7 meters wide and 1,6 meters deep; just enough for the narrow boats. Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is the longest and highest in Great Britain. The aqueduct carries a water passage for a single canal narrow boat as well as a towpath for pedestrians. It connects the Welsh villages of Froncysyllte and Trevor.

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and the length of the Llangollen Canal from the Horseshoe Falls to Gledrid Bridge is now a World Heritage Site.

Het is fascinerend te zien, als schepen op bruggen te overwinnen obstakels.

It certainly is a fantastic piece of engineering, Jaap, and i have walked across it many times. I have only sailed across it in a canal boat twice. I have photos in my archives of the event.

Hi Jaap,

A place I know well. I've crossed it in boats a few times, walked over it and under it countless more.
Since the width of the trough is only slightly wider than the width of the boat, the constrained flow of water actually steers the boat down the middle. Very clever these old engineers!!

Best Wishes
Peter
