The Leinster Aqueduct is an impressive 18th-century structure that carries the Grand Canal over the River Liffey.
Itwas designed to maintain a perfectly level water flow along the Grand Canal, which was crucial for slow-moving canal boats that couldn’t handle strong currents or steep changes in height.
