Day off: we go to see the aquaduct


Today we went to the Pontcysyllte aquaduct built by Telford.
It is a navigable aquaduct, you can walk over it and you can also pass it with a boat!




It is a real engineering feat. Built more than 150 years ago! The water inside the aquaduct is in a large iron trough.










This is a view from the valley on the aquaduct from the original small valley bridge over the river Dee.






If you look carefully you see a boat on the bride going from one side to the other.
