grandmaR Says: The Pontcysyllte aqueduct must be one of the most spectacular in Britain. The canal is fed from the River Dee at the Horseshoe Falls just out of Llangollen and the Dee runs under the aqueduct. The famous engineer, Thomas Telford, built Pontcysyllte Aqueduct near Llangollen...
DEBBBEDB Says: Pontcysyllte Aqueduct was built by Telford in 1795. It is a Welsh National Monument and is one of the seven wonders of the British Inland Waterways System. But it is very hard to photograph, and also pretty hard to get to. In our case, it was hard to get to it because the...
