Enjoy an Unforgettable Canoeing Adventure Across the World’s Highest Aqueduct in Llangollen, North Wales!
Join us and paddle over the highest aqueduct in the world.
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is located in the beautiful Dee Valley, also known as ‘the gateway to North Wales’. This ‘World Heritage’ site is surrounded by stunning scenery and wildlife, presenting the wow factor you are looking for.
If you fancy being a little daring, then as we calmly flow across this famous landmark you can take a gaze over the 126ft drop which overlooks the River Dee. But then again you don’t have to.
Situated a short distance from the historic riverside town of Llangollen with its steam trains, castles and ‘Riverside’ park, this activity is the perfect addition to a day discovering the wonders of North Wales.
