Llangollen Canal Holiday
July 30th to August 6th 2018 saw my family and I hire a narrowboat from Black Prince Narrowboat Holidays at Chirk for a week on the Llangollen Canal. The route we chosen was Chirk to Whitchurch then Wiitchurch to Llangollen returning to Chirk for 9am on Monday 6th August.
For anyone in the future doing the same route, here's what to expect. Hope you enjoy watching.

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.

Westons Wales Llangollen Canal and Dinas Bran Castle Circular Walk
A fresh and very cold morning with a cold biting breeze,and an early start,there is snow forecast....not a lot though,and off to Llangollen we go for a nice easy 5/6 mile walk along the canal and up to Dinas Bran Castle.Llangollen is a little quieter this time of year but in the summer sometimes you can not move for visitors coming in to view this fantastic little town with its full size steam railway sitting on the banks of The River Dee,and not forgetting the canals running through the town.The walk we did took in a small part of the canal tow-paths leading us up to the Castle.Llangollen is also home to The National Eisteddfod in July which is held at the Pavilion.There are plenty of places to eat and drink in town so if you fancy a break from what ever you are doing you will be spoilt for choice.
