by Mariajoy

The station here was closed in 1965 to passenger trains but restoration to the line began in 1975 - it has been fully operational for many years and popular with tourists and steam train enthusiasts. Passengers can take the 7.5 mile journey through the Dee Valley all year long and in summer time children and their parents can even take a ride on Thomas the Tank Engine!

Build in 1345, this bridge is a main feature of the township. It looked absolutely glorious, with its many baskets of petunias and other flowers....As you can see, it leads up to the street with the great shops in it! Take your wallet!

"Pontcysyllte Aqueduct"

This aqueduct is a very interesting sight to see. You can walk right across it and watch the narrow boats cross 35 metres above the ground!
