The town named top summer holiday spot with a unique attraction 'not for the faint-hearted'
Only a short drive away from Greater Manchester, North Wales has been a popular holiday destination for generations. A land of castles, mountains and beaches, it’s easy to see why it’s a go-to location spot.
But it’s one of Llangollen’s other historic features where you’ll find a rather surprising experience, which is “not for the faint hearted”. The impressive Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, completed in 1805, lies on the edge of the town and spans 18 arches, carrying the Llangollen Canal across the River Dee. The aqueduct can also be crossed on foot and by boat. There’s a footpath along the aqueduct which is only fenced on one side and many have said it can leave your legs feeling a bit wobbly.
