The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct has come out on top in a study exploring the most eye-catching Unesco landmarks.
In a study that included the sandstone city of Petra in Jordan, Cambodia's Angkor Wat and the Taj Mahal, Wales' Pontcysyllte Aqueduct has been found to be the most eye-catching Unesco site in the world.
The travel company asked participants to look at a series of photographs of 52 Unesco sites, while the eye-tracking technology measured which images drew attention the quickest and longest. Designed by Thomas Telford, the impressive structure was completed in 1805 after ten years of work, creating what is still the longest aqueduct in Great Britain as well as the highest canal aqueduct in the world.
