In the distance you can see The famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, designed by Thomas Telford.
It's certainly impressive.
Dirt cheap to build as well.
The views from up on top really were spectacular.
There is a tow path built along one side of the waterway, originally for the horses to tow the barges along the canal.
There's a safety railing along the side of the tow path, but none is required along the other side.
I did speak to a lady who was sat up front on one of the boats which had just crossed. She told me she had been absolutely terrified coming across. I suppose from the bow of the boat and looking down, imagination could run riot with your mind.
She certainly looked very much as if she had been terrified.
She said she was going for a drink.
The Pub was very strategically located.
There was those having a drink after coming across and those having a drink before they went across the opposite way.
Some of the boats were really attractive looking, complete with small roof gardens.
Back to The Aqueduct, it really was an impressive piece of design and engineering.
Whichever way you looked at it.
This hand was built alongside The canal. I couldn't work out what it was really meant to represent. The only information I have managed to obtain from the Net was a brief mention of the same connected to 'Brickwork'

Maybe the Free Masons are back in town.
Both Flobo and myself really enjoyed the walk across the same and back. It's one of those things you feel it was nice to accomplish in life and that you were privileged to be aware of the same.
Thanks to Propagator for that. He gave me the lead on these pages a couple of months or so back
