Designed and built by Thomas Telford and Williams Jessop, Pontcysyllte means 'the bridge that connects' and is 'the jewel in the crown' of our World Heritage Site, a magnet for those who want to experience one of the most remarkable achievements of the industrial revolution.

You can walk across Pontcysyllte, or save your legs and take a leisurely boat ride or why not hire a boat for the day or longer from one businesses based at Trevor Basin. But there's one thing you have to take with you. A camera. The views are something else.

​

But that's not all - the aqueduct is just part of an 11-mile World Heritage Site, starting just past Chirk and finishing at the Horseshoe Falls in Llantysilio.  The whole area offers an amazing day out and a great place for independent travellers or families to explore!
