Chirk Aqueduct is part of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and the Llangollen Canal World Heritage site, which stretches from Chirk to the Horseshoe Falls in Llangollen itself. 1.43km of the canal leading through Chirk Bank to Gledrid Bridge is also an Scheduled Ancient Monument . Not only is it canal architecture as it's finest, but it's also one of only places on our waterways where you can stand with one foot in England and one foot in Wales, as it straddles the border between the two countries. Completed in 1801 by William Jessop and Thomas Telford, the aqueduct is 710 foot (220 m) long and carries the canal 70 feet above the beautiful River Ceiriog across 10 circular masonry arches. Just along our towpath, Chirk tunnel (known locally as 'The Darkie') was one of the first in the UK to have a towpath.

narrow tunnel about 150m which must be traversed if you want to stay on the canal path

no cyclevtrails other than the driveway up to castle but nice tearoom.

Space for parking and a picnic table. Also toilets! Good walks along the river especially northwards towards Chester.

The loop from Llandrillo going anticlockwise is very steady and pleasant. But be prepared for substantial bog trotting in the central part of the valley passing the area marked as Gwern Wynodl. Even with newish goretex boots, we came away with wet feet. Good boots and gaiters, or wellies for that section highly recommended. Return section (first section if doing it clockwise) is also pretty boggy in parts. It also seemed like a bit more of a slog doing it clockwise.

easy and quick walk over a stunning structure
