Summary[edit]

Description

A PAINTED EFFECT:

The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a navigable aqueduct that carries the Llangollen Canal over the valley of the River Dee, between the villages of Trevor and Froncysyllte, in Wrexham in north east Wales.

Completed in 1805, it is the longest and highest aqueduct in Britain.

The aqueduct, built by Thomas Telford and William Jessop, is 1,007 ft (307 m) long, 11 ft (3.4 m) wide and 5.25 ft (1.60 m) deep. It consists of a cast iron trough supported 126 ft (38 m) above the river by nineteen hollow masonry piers (pillars). Each span is 53 ft (16 m) wide.
