On the way to our AirBnB in Wales, we stopped for the night in Llangollen, a sweet Welsh town we visited in 2014 when we rented a narrowboat for a week on the Llangollen Canal. We were excited to be there again, even if just for one night, and after checking in to the old historic Royal Hotel (with a view of the river!) we set out to see how far down the canal’s towpath we could go. It was a beautiful afternoon, and so fun to be reminiscing as we walked towards our possible turnaround point. The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, 126 feet high and 4 feet wide, allows the canal to traverse a river that flows below. And you and your narrowboat float across in the suspended canal! Anyway, almost 10 miles round trip, we managed to walk far enough down the canal to get there, walk across it and then walk nearly 5 miles back. Our feet were mad at us, but we were happy. How could we miss such a great scenic walk? Of course the canal goes on for miles. There is something so romantic, so slowed down, about these beautiful old canals. Here are photos of our hotel, the canal walk, and the Pontcysylite Aqueduct:
