Pontcysyllte
Aqueduct This is actually the larger of the two aqueducts encountered on our trip. Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (we believe this is pronounced "pont-ker-SULTH-tee") was started in 1795 and took 10 years to construct to cross the River Dee. At 126 feet high, it is the tallest aqueduct in Great Britain and is considered one of the greatest civil engineering achievements of its time. |
