Gwydir Castle, Llanrwst, Conwy Valley
Local resident putting on a show for us.
LLANGOLLEN
The River Dee runs past the Llangollen Railway
Llangollen Canal - the new BW moorings.
TREVOR
Bridge over the River Dee at Trevor.............call that a bridge?
......now that's a bridge!!!!
Or rather
it's The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
I have been over this aqueduct many times, but it never fails to take my breath away!
The same bridge over the Dee from the top of the Aqueduct.
Notice how thin the metal is between the water and........err, well, a long way down!
It's a pretty strange feeling when you're on a boat.
FRONCYSYLLTE
The lift
bridge at Froncysyllte.
Duck or grouse!
He'll have earned his pint tonight!
CHIRK
Chirk Aqueduct and railway viaduct.
You can
just see Chirk Tunnel in the distance.
Sorry I couldn't organise a train and a boat crossing simultaneously!
