Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (Pontcysyllte Aqueduct) is located in northern Wales and is one of the representative buildings during the British Industrial Revolution. “Pontcysyllte” means “connecting bridge” in Welsh. This aqueduct spans the River Dee (River Dee) and connects to the Llangollen Canal (Llangollen Canal), and its spectacular structure was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009.
We parked our car at the Pontcysyllte Chapel Tea Room for only £3 for a full day, then walk a few minutes to reach this aqueduct. The Ponte Casaruto Aqueduct was designed by the famous engineer Thomas Telford (Thomas Telford) and completed in 1805. The aqueduct consists of 18 stone arches and cast iron structures. It is 307 meters long and 38 meters high. It is the longest and tallest aqueduct in the UK.
There is a narrow canal on the bridge for ships to pass through. The entire bridge is beautifully designed and is hailed as a “masterpiece of creative genius”. Telford treated difficult geographical environments in innovative ways, such as using cast iron and quicklime mortar to increase stability and durability, fully demonstrating the engineering technology of the time.
Walking on the bridge, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the River Di. In addition to the aqueduct, there are also many attractions nearby, such as Chain Bridge River Dee (Chain Bridge River Dee), Whitehouse Canal Tunnel (Whitehouse Canal Tunnel), and Llangollen (Llangollen).
After we passed the river, we went to Sian's Cafe in the Garden, a garden teahouse in a nearby town (See the travel notes for details), Savor traditional Welsh cream refreshments. On our way back, we also found a small boat for visitors to rent. In addition to boat rides driven by a boat owner, you can also choose a canoe operated by yourself.
