- When 'The Walk' becomes 'The Canoe'.
I'm back in North Wales with my mate Phil; and we're going to take a canoe across the highest canal aqueduct on the planet.
Built over ten years between 1795 and 1805 by Thomas Telford and William Jessop, the Pontcysyllte Aquaduct carries the Llangollen canal 126 feet over the River Dee, and across the Vale of Llangollen.
It's an incredible structure in a beautiful part of the United Kingdom.
I hope you enjoy the stunning scenery. Just don't look down.

I forgot to tip the rower.
That is a wonderful gift to get someone, it looks like an amazing thing to do. Love it.
Aye, she's a good egg.
@@IckeWalks that's an old saying...
WOW 🤩 that looked amazing and terrifying at the same time!!! Great footage as always Gaz😀
Thank yoU!
Seen this aqueduct many times on documentaries and I would love to visit it. Great video, thank you.
Chester is a stunning historic town. Lovely walk around the old perimeter walls.
I proposed on those walls!
@@IckeWalks Ahhh, that's lovely, Gaz.
Fantastic video hope phill recovered his arms after all that rowing awesome views and architecture hope you all well xx
Haha. Cheers! x
Nice one lads! I’d love to go over that in a canoe. Awesome stuff. It’s absolutely breathtaking that aqueduct is.
Aye it's amazing, mate. Telford was a clever bugger.
Did you row back? probably not , am sure Phil was enjoying the work out too much to give up the oar..!!! Appreciate you guys as always. 🙏❤
Nah, I rowed back on my own as Phil went to grab the car. We had another two videos to film that day!
Love it...bloody great..
Thank you.
GREAT VIDEO!
Thank you.
Hello Gareth love the video nice and relaxing really nice friends keep up the good work take care peace and love xx
Cheers mate
@@IckeWalks you are welcome Gareth xx
The Castle is Castell Dinas Bran, its just ruins now but its on top of a MASSIVE hill, it would have been to your right as you were travelling towards Llangollen a bit further along, you would have also been able to see "Worlds end" and Ruabon mountain, some cracking walks up there if you're ever back, right over the top of the mountain to Rhosllanerchrugog. Theres a lot of history up there too, it was bombed heavily by the Germans mistaking it for Liverpool in WW2 etc and the site of quite a few plane crashes
Oh wow! One for the list for sure, then!
I'm visiting there this weekend. Weather permitting. Looks cool. There's a town near by called Trevor.😆 I'm staying in Llangollen which looks nice.
Oh have a great time! There is a lovely little cafe on the river in Llangollen, by the bridge.
@@IckeWalks cheers.
It was lovely. I took the tourist barge across from Llangollen .They have a bar 😊 and walked back. Wouldn't catch me canoeing. It's a tad windy up there but beautiful. Was interesting when a cyclist was taking a road tandem across the footpath. It's narrow. 😥
That's awesome, absolutely beautiful, does that water stay at the same level in the canal?✌️
Yeah, they top up out the river dee, but pretty sure they keep it consistent.
