Floating the Llangollen Canal by narrowboat in England
This is a little snippet of floating the Llangollen Canal from England into Wales and return. We rented a 48 foot narrow boat from Maestermyn Cruises out of Ellesmere, England and floated for two weeks.

Llangollen Canal (Day 4) - Pontcysyllte Aqueduct - 28th May, 2019
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct carries the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee, in the Vale of Llangollen, north-east Wales. The 18-arched stone and cast iron structure, designed by Thomas Telford & William Jessop, was completed in 1805, having taken ten years build. It is the longest aqueduct in Great Britain and the highest canal aqueduct in the world.
The aqueduct is 336yd (307m) long, 12ft (3.7 m) wide, and 5ft 3in (1.6m) deep. It consists of a cast iron trough, supported 126ft (38m) above the river, on iron arched ribs, carried on eighteen hollow masonry piers (pillars).

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct on the Llangollen canal, May 2009.
This is a brief portrait of the aqueduct and two of the boats that carry passengers across it. The recommended pronunciation is not exact, but it serves many of us locals well enough!
The aqueduct, built between 1795 and 1805, is one of Britain's most spectacular products of the Industrial Revolution. Known as The Stream in the Sky, it was designed by Thomas Telford, the self-educated son of a Scottish shepherd, and built under the direction of William Jessop. The cruise boat shown in this video and a horse drawn boat, both based at Llangollen Wharf, bear the names of these great engineers.
Telford's use of a cast-iron trough to carry the water across the Dee valley was revolutionary, allowing a very light, lofty structure with the minimum of stonework. Indeed, the top portion of each pier is hollow. The approach embankment on the Froncysyllte side was at the time the biggest earthwork in the UK. It extends just as far (and high, 90 feet) as earthworks were less costly than fine masonry and cast iron! Also, a bridge of only one boat's width would have caused traffic congestion if it had been much longer, and the embankment has curves that align the canal with the ideal placement for the aqueduct.

The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a navigable aqueduct that carries the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee in the Vale of Llangollen in north east Wales. The 18-arched stone and cast iron structure is for use by narrowboats and was completed in 1805 having taken ten years to design and build. It is the longest aqueduct in Great Britain and the highest canal aqueduct in the world. There’s a very good reason why our 'stream in the sky', Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and 11 miles of the Llangollen canal is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Taking the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee valley in North Wales, the aqueduct is one of the most awesome engineering feats on the canal network. You can walk across the aqueduct or save your legs and go by boat - remember to bring your camera and a head for heights!

The visit to Llangollen was the highlight of our vacation, with the main purpose to cross the aquaduct by barge.
This grade 1 listed building, recently being granted world heritage status by UNESCO, is the highest and longest aquaduct in the world, a Welsh National Monument, and possibly the oldest working aquaduct in the world, having been open since the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
Thomas Telford and William Jessop were the designers and engineers, and it took 500 men 10 years to complete.
The aquaduct is over 1000 feet long, 11 feet wide, with the water trough 63 inches deep.
19 arches, each 116 feet high with a span of 45 feet support the entire structure, and the aquaduct holds 330,000 gallons of water which is so clean, with very little processing, it serves as household water to the Cheshire area.
Pontcysyllte is pronounced Pont-ker-sulth-teh
Llangollen is an interesting, busy town, with plenty of parking in the town center from where you walk over the bridge and up to Llangollen Wharf.
Once on board, we enjoyed the 2 hour journey along the Dee Valley and finally over the aquaduct, all with a live commentary from the skipper.
There is a bar available, and light lunches are available.
A courtesy coach was waiting at the end of our journey which took us back to Llangollen and dropped us off right in the center of town near to our car park.
Perhaps for the more romantic, or for those who have already sailed over the aquaduct or maybe for those who have not got 2 hours to spare, a 45 minute trip in a barge drawn by a horse is another great experience.
Parties of 30 or more can take in the splendour of the Horseshoe Falls at the head of the canal.
It's a leisurely ride along the last stretch of the Llangollen canal, not navigable by any other boats.
A stop at the end allows you to admire the chain bridge across the River Dee, and marvel at the man-made Horseshoe Falls, another masterpiece by Thomas Telford.
This is possibly the most beautiful length of canal you will ever see, and the horse drawn trip is definitely the most peaceful and relaxing way to see it.
Be sure to have a camcorder with you to record all the sights of North Wales.
