A lovely little walk and view at the end. A car would take you most of the way following the canal to the aqueduct, but I think it's mostly for locals to go down. There's a small parking lot that you should park at instead and just take the pleasant 5-10 minute stroll. 20 minutes is really all you need for the walk and to take in the sights.
I would definitely recommend a visit to the Chirk aqueduct if you are in the area. It is well sign posted through the village of Chirk, with car parking close by. There are serval cafes and takeaways in Chirk, so very easy to make a day of your visit. The aqueduct itself is very photogenic, so definitely have your camera ready. There is plenty to see along the canal and the foot paths are well kept. Plenty of wildlife in this area, and plenty of barges to watch as they go by. You may also encounter the "darkie tunnel" along your walk on the canal - so a touch is highly recommended!
Great place to stretch you legs. Fun tunnel alongside the canal to wander through, though it's very dark! The views are breathtaking, and there's lots of information about local history about the place.
Stunning architecture and a beautiful setting, if a little awkward to find by car. The walk across is amazing, but not for those afraid of heights...!
Fantastic walk along the canal, over a high aqueduct that allows you to see for miles there is a much higher one if you are brave enough! the views are spectacular and the canal wall is a great way to end a summers evening. There is also a long tunnel which is fun, as you cannot see anything towards the centre. I would highly recommend a visit.
A fantastic feat of engineering taking the canal across the border between England and Wales and over a river in a deep valley at the same time. For the shortest, but steep, walk to see the aqueduct, park at the information centre/Police station free on the B4500 where there is also a coffee shop Caffi Wylfa. The geography of the location means you can look down on full grown trees and birds in flight - doesn't sound particularly special, but to be outside, rather than in a tall building, and see this view on the world always captivates me. The views of the surrounding countryside are lovely and it is incongruous that the canal should run across the aqueduct high above the valley floor to disappear into a tunnel. Worth a brief stop off when travelling along the A5 near Chirk or as part of a longer walk by the Llangollen Canal.
Children did enjoy the long and dark tun el at the end of the aqueduct. Also there is a nic castle nearby so You can combine both of these together.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Nice walk along the Canal, with lovely views over the English and Welsh countryside. Well maintained footpaths with some good pubs along the way.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Lovely place. Gorgeous views and walking through the longest, darkest canal tunnel is a must. Just wish I had more time to stay longer as the canal walk was lovely too.
There is a small car park just over the bridge on Weston Rhyn. Then you can walk along the tow path by the side of the canal to Chirk Aqueduct. It is a beautiful walk. There are ducks and geese though the geese can be a little unfriendly. Then once you get to the Aqueduct the views are stunning. There is also Café Wylfa near by for a good cuppa to warm you up, with cakes and sandwiches etc. A lovely place to visit and well worth a stop.
