CONWYCycling in ConwyDownload�  (9mb)� � � � � 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.�The dizzying�Pontcysyllte Aqueduct,�which carries the canal over the River Dee, is a must-see.�This remarkable feat of canal engineering is 125 feet high, and the canal is unprotected on one side, giving the impression of a sheer drop from a narrowboat. The structure is deservedly a World Heritage Site. Following the canal to the Llangollen end will take you into the rolling foothills of Snowdonia.
