Llangollen Canal

Highlight • River

The Llangollen Canal crosses the border between England and Wales. Its combination of picturesque countryside and breath-taking engineering draws visitors from far and wide.

Tip by

3.09 km

Flowing from Llangollen in North Wales to Hurleston in Cheshire, the Llangollen Canal is a beautiful waterway straddling the border between England and Wales. There are many picturesque spots along the canal: traditional narrowboats glide gently across the water as ducks swim by and anglers sit quietly on the banks.

The project of prominent engineers such as Thomas Telford, the canal has carried boats since 1795. Although it is no longer used for industry, many pleasure boats and holidaymakers still enjoy cruising the waters today.

Tilstock Park Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

The Llangollen Canal has some gorgeous old lifting bridges which have been in operation for generations. The Tilstock Park Bridge is a great example and must be hand operated by boaters who want to pass. If you're lucky, you might get to see it lifted and a boat pass through; perhaps cross it first though, so you don't have to wait!
