Trevor: Pontcysyllte Aqueduct 
Description
One of the wonders of the industrial revolution, the second highest aqueduct in Europe and the highest navigable aqueduct in Europe. The aqueduct, and impressive earth works that stretch for another half mile or so across the end of the valley that allowed the actual aqueduct to be shortened, are a marvel of engineering allowing the Shropshire Union Canal to cross high over the river Dee deep below it in the valley. After falling into disrepair when the canals fell out of favour it has now been completely refurbished, and become a vital part of the leisure canal network. The tow path allows you to walk across the aqueduct and take in the stunning views across the valley, or you can hire a canoe or take a boat ride. For those on foot there are large railings that run alongside the path, but on the water there is only the edge of the water trough that comes up a foot or so above the level of the water, so you have an unobstructed view of the drop.
