Great piece of history Great view from this fantastic feat of engineering. 70 feet above the River Ceirog and was the highest navigable waterway in the world when it opened in 1801. 710 feet long leading from Wales into England. Pioneering design techniques used by Henry Robertson and the engineers Thomas Telford and William Jessop. Runs alongside the railway viaduct, opened in 1848 and is 30 feet higher. A 1,378 feet long is at one end as well. Great place for a little along the canal. The other one is closed for maintenance, which is normally more popular until April, so this is a good one to visit for now. Totally worth the stop here. Amazing views, super unique infrastructure and easy from the small and free car park by the police station. Careful during the winter as ice will be present. The Chirk is a remarkable feat of engineering and a stunning sight to behold. Spanning the River Ceiriog, this impressive structure, part of the Llangollen Canal, showcases the ingenuity of Victorian design with its elegant stone arches and lush surroundings. As you along the towpath, you'll be treated to breathtaking of the and the Welsh countryside. This UNESCO World Heritage Site not only serves as a vital waterway but also provides a serene spot for leisurely strolls and photography, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring the area. Aquaduct, viaduct and all in one! Very interesting, fantastic architecture. We took a across the with the viaduct towering to the side. One end of the is England and the other Wales. Somewhere in the middle maybe marks the spot, unless it’s No man’s land 😆 After you cross the the footpath goes up to the road or you can follow the towpath through the tunnel, maybe a torch would be advisable. There are a couple of parking spots next to the canal. We visited the for the week, and this was on our list of places to visit. What an engineering marvel! We parked up and walked alone the canel towpath (5 - 10 mins) passing the canel workers cottages. The from the are amazing, but not for those with a fear of heights. As you across the aqueduct, you pass in Wales. If you keep going along the towpath, you can in Chirk town. and all on the flat, remember your duck food. Absolutely beautiful.We hired a boat,so much fun! But if you bring food for the pick nick,a full day for the family.Recommended with children,elderly.The canal,trees,beautiful flowers,the falling leaves,minimum once in a lifetime. Fantastic stop off if you're kn the area. Steeped in history, and amazing views. We found it tricky to park, but found a little carpark about half a mile down the canal, it was a from there to the viaduct. Very cool. Went over on a boat and it was lovely. Very narrow, some light traffic but a massive turning space on one side after a long tunnel. Really enjoyed this spot and in Chirk Fabulous but small landmark albeit quite a way off the ground. Only a short the aquaduct actually represents pioneering engineering of the age. The are over the river and along the valley. You can further to Llangollen if you wish. Motorhome parking isn't easy, hard to park at the pub down the street a bit. Although walking down to the Viaduct was lovely. and so high up! I think the pub across from the Viaduct would be great for a view! Walked along the canal, one end in Wales and the other England. Kids and dogs enjoyed it. Fantastic place to across if you're in the area! It's full of history and offers amazing views. A aqueduct. Worth visiting if you're in the but not enough to base an entire day out around unless you want to visit the castle also. Extremely picturesque and apparently it's a haven for Swifts (although we only saw Jackdaws haha) Absolutely place to an relax an refresh lots of history also and very friendly people Stunning of the valley below A must see in Chirk after the iconic castle. Mind blowing and a great place for a walk. Wonderful experience to across the if you are not afraid of heights and watching the people kayaking along side.Not for the faint hearted but are breath taking ans a country pub with home cooked food aswell and viewing the boats which you can go on.Well worth the visit,great day out .. Stopped here as part of a longer car journey. Aqueducts and viaducts are impressive enough on paper, but seeing these two massive structures side by side—and still in full use—is really cool! The carries boats right over the valley (between England and Wales), and you can actually along the long (Just remember a torch)! We parked at the local police station where there’s free public parking, then walked down to the aqueduct. You can head off walking for miles in either direction along the route if you’ve got time—it’s a setting and very peaceful. It was around 28°C when we visited, sunny with a few clouds, and it still wasn’t busy. Everyone we passed, from boaters to fellow walkers, was genuinely friendly. Fantastic from Chirck to Ponticyitle aqueduct. Could do with a few more seats and certain areas the path was awash with mud and water Great place to visit Great bit of architecture if you like that sort of think or just enjoy a walk. A few people around but not busy It's a great structure with a great view but needs better parking Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
