Over the river
Half in England, half in Wales, this is the view from Thomas Telford’s aqueduct over the River Ceiriog at Chirk. Built between 1796 and 1801, it’s 70 feet tall and has 10 spans. The railway viaduct, added in 1846, stands 30 feet above the canal.
A wonderous piece of enginering & a beautiful place to walk
view along the Ceriog Valley through one of the arches

Amazing, it was built when we didn’t have the equipment we have today and has stood and served so long. They even have boat tours on the canal. Great history, thank you for sharing this.
