El acueducto de Pontcysyllte es una de las obras de canal m\u00e1s impresionantes de Europa y un hito de la Revoluci\u00f3n Industrial en el noreste de Gales. Dise\u00f1ado por Thomas Telford y William Jessop e inaugurado en 1805, lleva el canal de Llangollen sobre el valle del r\u00edo Dee. Diecinueve arcos sobre esbeltos pilares de piedra sostienen una cuba de hierro fundido de 307 metros de largo, a 38 metros sobre el r\u00edo, lo que lo convierte en el acueducto m\u00e1s largo de Gran Breta\u00f1a y en el acueducto navegable m\u00e1s alto del mundo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El acueducto y 18 kil\u00f3metros del canal son Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la UNESCO desde 2009. Su rasgo m\u00e1s singular es la estrecha cuba de hierro: por un lado discurre un camino de sirga con barandilla, pero por el otro el borde apenas sobresale del agua, de modo que los barcos parecen flotar muy por encima del valle. A menudo lo llaman \u00abel arroyo en el cielo\u00bb. Se puede cruzar a pie por el camino de sirga o a bordo de una narrowboat tradicional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Informaci\u00f3n para visitantes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

La mayor\u00eda de las visitas empiezan en Trevor Basin, en el extremo norte del acueducto, donde un centro de visitantes gratuito explica c\u00f3mo se construy\u00f3. Cruzarlo a pie lleva unos diez minutos por trayecto, y varios senderos bajan al valle para la vista cl\u00e1sica de los arcos desde abajo. El camino de sirga contin\u00faa hacia el oeste hasta Llangollen, a unos 7 km, y hacia el sur hasta el acueducto de Chirk, dos buenas rutas para caminar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking across the aqueduct is free and the towpath is open at all times. In 2026 the 45-minute boat trip across the aqueduct from Trevor Basin with Anglo Welsh costs \u00a310 for adults and \u00a36 for children up to 16, with a family ticket at \u00a325; trips run daily from the beginning of April through the summer season. Longer cruises to the aqueduct leave from Llangollen Wharf. Come early in the morning or on a weekday in summer, because the narrow towpath gets crowded at weekends and on holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aqueduct lies between Llangollen and Wrexham, about 6 km east of Llangollen. Buses between Wrexham and Llangollen stop in Trevor, a few minutes\u2019 walk from the basin. The nearest railway stations are Ruabon and Chirk, on the line between Chester and Shrewsbury, from where you can continue by bus or taxi. Drivers should use the signposted visitor car parks in Trevor, as parking in the village streets is discouraged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
