Top Comments of this video!! :3
Great video which conveys something of the epic proportions of this aqueduct - breathtaking in its conception and execution. Impossible to imagine the construction of this structure, 200 years ago. It must have stretched the limits of what was possible at this time. My vertigo would stop me crossing either on foot or in a barge, especially on a windy day. Great to see the proposals for extending the arm into a basin - presumably doubling as a marina, which will be good news for boaters on this magnificent canal.

Thanks for this one especially my young stillson-wielder! Sadly I never got to see this in person in my travelling days. Much to the chagrin of both my own crowd and that of my old Welsh expat mate. A bit late for him but at least we can enjoy it from the comfort of our rockers. Another "White Elephant" project that is still plopping out Gold Patties after all these years. ππππ

We crossed this and moored up and went to the shop on an estate near by .Did not go to the end as the guide book told us it was single working . A family stopped in the middle and threw flowers into the river below, their daughter has taken her life as she had jumped off .Not always a happy place .

Local to Me, hope you enjoyed your visit to My home Wrexham and the ex industrial villages to the south. When I was born I was told that the first walk that My dad did with me in a pram was over the Aqueduct and along the canal, which was within walking distance from My parents house at the time. Moss valley still exists (but not in its original form) and there are random places of dry cut marooned around Wrexham (many have been lost for ever as time moves on) which were cut before the money ran out. I may be wrong but was this canal originally planned to meet the Dee somewhere down stream of Holt and then the navigable bit down stream to Chester?
