Flowing from Llangollen in North Wales to Hurleston in Cheshire, the Llangollen Canal is a beautiful waterway straddling the border between England and Wales. There are many picturesque spots along the canal: traditional narrowboats glide gently across the water as ducks swim by and anglers sit quietly on the banks.

The project of prominent engineers such as Thomas Telford, the canal has carried boats since 1795. Although it is no longer used for industry, many pleasure boats and holidaymakers still enjoy cruising the waters today.
