Lovely Heritage site. Little Shop and museum, boat trips £3 all day car parking, main car park is short walking distance to aqueduct where you can walk alongside the canal but be mindful is it narrow pathway and can become tight when many people are visiting. Wouldn't recommend the walk across bridge if you heights is a fear. However there is some great views going across
Decided to visit here as I was in the area. Absolutely loved the views. It's £3 to park but that covers you for all day. Lots of steps and climbs, but you are rewarded with some stunning scenery. Would definitely recommend visiting if you are in the area
First visit to the aqueduct with my family, lovely to walk along the canal side and take in the stunning views. It really is quite breath taking when you stand next to the aqueduct at ground level, considering it's the tallest in the UK and took ten years to build. Quite a remarkable feat of engineering given the period it was constructed and the time it has been standing. We took the narrow boat tour, the guide gave a lively, informative and engaging commentary during the 45 minute trip. The location houses an on site gift shop, pub near by serving food and drinks, visitor centre, picnic areas, plus a tearoom located further along the bank. Plus several footpaths, ideal to explore the area further. One of which lead to Llangollen definitely one to explore during our next visit.
It is a masterpiece of engineering genius! Amazing experience walking on the aqueduct with the kids. Stunning view - the river, the trees, beautiful. My four kids ranged 4-14years old really enjoyed it. The parking fee was £3/day. There was also a public toilet there.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
It's high and long and a lovely break from the bit before and Trefor basin where there was a very grumpy shop man in a boat. The aqueduct itself is interesting and the swallows around it fascinating. Not ideal of you're scared of heights though! Little que to get on but mostly well managed by boat driver should add that we didn't do this on foot but via canal boat
So we went early on a Sunday morning and couldn't walk along the aqueduct, which was fine for me because it was extremely high up and a narrow path, next to the canal. It's nice to see as it's a feat of engineering from its time, but not ideal for anyone with a physical disability, however there are some boats that you take across. I was expecting more for a site classed as world heritage, little lacking in facilities compared to other UNESCO sites I've visited.
An absolutely stunning place but not for the ones afraid of heights. It is a great architectural marvel and magnificent sight. There are a few trails which you can explore or rent a boat and cross the aqueduct as per its purpose. There is a small shop nearby with refreshments.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
There's free street parking just opposite the entrance of it's not busy, would recommend going late in the evening in summer so far there aren't as many people around. The view is amazing with two other bridges you can spot on their side of the aqueduct. You have to walk under the canal bridge to get round to the bridge to cross the canal inside the Anglo Welsh boat rental place. It's well worth a look but for those who fear heights just beware as it's pretty tight and the gaps in the bars aren't good for children as they could definitely fall!
Some nice areas to walk around the aqueduct and of course you can walk across it too. Paths were clearly marked and theres sign posts guiding you. Great views all around from upon the aqueduct and you can find some nice views from below too. Great short walk!
Very nice and unusual place. The tiny boats are crossing a deep valley on the bridge which is a actually a canal. A 1/2 mile walk links 2 zones of pubs and car park. Along the canal, some barges are a nice pub-bar, another one a is a flea market, and some other one are static or long-time mooring houses. Closes at 4pm, Toilets available on the disable car-park and at Telford In on the other side of the canal.
