I wonder if some horses were afraid of heights.
We are doing a narrowbiat rude in Oct ober of this year. Thanks for showing will appreciate it more tThank You
I have been over this aqueduct several times. What a really fabulous computer animation of how the aqueduct was built over 200 years ago. Using probably only human muscle and horse power. Very interesting
I have visited a few of the UK's historical engineering marvels and museums over the years, and this rates as one of the most beautiful both looking up at the aqueduct from the ground, and from the aqueduct at the surrounding visage.
I took my family for a sightseeing walk over Pontcysyllte about ten years ago. My son was only 4yo, and I kept a tight grip on his hand because the railing supports are spaced wide enough apart for a youngster to slip through.
But what a view and what an engineering marvel. One day I must try to blag a ride across on a barge, just to look over the other side.
This rates as highly as the Falkirk Wheel in my opinion (another excellent place to visit - and I have been up/around that one in a barge).
Really nice graphics, very explanatory.
an amazing and awe-inspiring lesson in human ingenuity! Many thanks!
Exactly what I was thinking, word for word!
I live 1/4 of a mile from it so cross it regularly, at each end where the rails bend around the towpath, you can see where the ropes from the towing horses have rubbed grooves into the railings.
Very interesting! 😎
Pedantic, I know, but the river is shown flowing the wrong way!
Sound seems good
How do they stop the bridge rusting?
no foundations?
Great animation! Though some of the architect's and builder's choices would not have been mine, the build is truly impressive.
What does this aqueduct connect which makes it necessary?
Sadly, very little. There were coal mines and Iron works at Raubon at the Northern End of the aquaduct and a navigable feeder branch from the River Dee at Llangollen supplied water for the rest of the canal, but the proposed link to Wrexham and onwards to Chester was never built. The canal now terminates in a basin at the head of the aquaduct. It was started in 1795 and by the time it was complete, Britain was in the middle of the Napoleonic Wars and money was not as readily available for the construction of the remainder of the planned route.
@@andys5359, thank you for this comprehensive answer!
Maybe a big 2' x 6' ( Canal closed) sign would've been better
Audio just STOPS at the best part! Whata shame!!!!
I've got no audio for any of it
@@qwertyTRiG, maybe there was an audio initially, but it got stolen by gypsies one night.
