The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct at Llangollen, Denbighshire

Llangollen

Llangollen is a small town in Denbighshire which stands on the steep banks of the River Dee and on the edge of the Berwyn mountains.

Llangollen was an important coaching stop for the mail coach on the old mail route along the road from London to Holyhead (now the A5). It is now firmly on the tourist trail from which it derives its current prosperity. The most remarkable aspect of Llangollen is the Llangollen Canal and the Pontcysyllte Aquaduct, 'the stream in the sky', which carries the canal 126 feet above the valley of the River Dee. (Read more)
