Experience a summer boat trip across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
Over the summer our Little Star (Seren Fach) trip boat is offering five skippered cruises a day across the UNESCO World Heritage Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.
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.
Our 45-minute-long return boat trips offer the chance to cruise across this incredible 120-year old structure. You’ll experience amazing views across the Dee Valley, and hear about the history of the aqueduct as you glide slowly across the Stream in the Sky.
Our boat 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, which 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.
