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.

Wide enough for one boat, and with a towpath all the way through, the Whitehouse tunnel lies between Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Chirk. It is an impressive 175 metres long and was completed between 1795 and 1802. It was designed by Thomas Telford and William Jessop. With the aid of a torch, navigate yourself through this 18th century tunnel, under the traffic of the A5. It’s quite an adventure, be sure to go steadily and be aware of others on foot, or on boats! Please dismount and use you headlight to see the path in front.

Bangor Bridge (also known as the Bangor-on-Dee Bridge) is a Grade I listed bridge crossing the River Dee in Bangor-on-Dee, Wrexham County Borough, Wales. It is situated on the community boundary between Bangor-is-y-Coed and Sesswick. Located to the west of Bangor-on-Dee, it connects the village's high street and the A525 road bypass. The narrow bridge is a one-way traffic bridge, west to east, and is downstream (north) of the Bangor by-pass bridge.

The 18-arched stone and cast iron structure is for use by narrowboats and was completed in 1805 having taken ten years to design and build. It is 12 feet (3.7 metres) wide and is the longest aqueduct in Great Britain as well as the highest canal aqueduct in the world. A towpath runs alongside the watercourse on one side. The aqueduct was to have been a key part of the central section of the proposed Ellesmere Canal, an industrial waterway that would have created a commercial link between the River Severn at Shrewsbury and the Port of Liverpool on the River Mersey.
