Experience an autumn boat trip across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
This autumn we’re running five skippered boat trips a day across the UNESCO World Heritage Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and the chance to enjoy panoramic views of the beautiful autumn colours across the Dee Valley.
Described by Sir Walter Scott as a ‘stream in the sky’ where ‘fish swim above birds’, the aqueduct carries the Llangollen Canal 38 metres high across the Dee Valley.
On our 45-minute-long return cruises aboard Litte Star (Seren Fach) you’ll hear about the history of this incredible structure as you glide slowly across.
Trips depart daily at 11am, 12 noon, 1.30pm, 2.30pm and 3.30pm from Canal Wharf, Trevor, Llangollen LL20 7TT.
Adult tickets are priced at £10 each, children (aged under 16) are priced at £6.
Family tickets for two adults and two children are £25 each.
Ways to make the most of your visit to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
As well as seeing the Aqueduct and the spectacular views of the Dee Valley from our trip boat, you can also cross it on foot, and to enjoy a meal or a drink at the Aqueduct Inn perched up the hill overlooking the canal in Froncysyllte.
The Pontcysyllte Chapel Tea Rooms at Trevor Basin do excellent breakfasts, lunches and cream teas so it’s well worth planning a visit there too.
You can also walk down the steps to the bottom of the valley to see the Aqueduct from below. This really brings home the scale of the structure and the achievements of the canal engineers.
Another option is to head up the hill to the fascinating historic village of Cefn Mawr to see the Aqueduct from above. Once the site of iron works, coal mines and brick and tile works, it’s full of little alleyways, steps and stair cases and there some great viewpoints looking out across the valley, with glimpses of the Aqueduct.
