Pontcysyllte Aqueduct  

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct  
A HFF to all from the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in Wales. A big fence needed here to stop walkers from falling down this great height. Note, there is only a fence on one side. On the other, there is a 20cm iron lip to stop canal boats going over!

The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct at 307m in length, is a navigable aqueduct that carries the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee in north east Wales. The 30m high, 18-arched stone and cast iron structure, which took ten years to design and build, was completed in 1805. - Another triumph for Telford,

Awe shucks Amelia, if I had known, I would have called round for a cuppa :) Yes, a great place to wander and explore with the hills and valleys around Llangollen and canals around Chirk too. Must admit that the HFF scheme was not on my mind as I took this, hence the crop. Glad you like it. Cheers, Herb

Hi Herb

Very nice capture of the 'pont cario dwr'! I like it!!
I've crossed this many times, both on foot and in boats, and the very interesting point you make is that there is nothing to stop somebody falling off the deck of a boat, and going over the side.

Best wishes
Peter
