The Llangollen Canal has some gorgeous old lifting bridges which have been in operation for generations. The Tilstock Park Bridge is a great example and must be hand operated by boaters who want to pass. If you're lucky, you might get to see it lifted and a boat pass through; perhaps cross it first though, so you don't have to wait!

Manually operated bridge, old simply technology and it still works fine. Good to see when boats go under…

Another of the great old-fashioned canal lift-up bridges, definitely worth cycling over.
