28th May '16. The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a navigable aqueduct that carries the Llangollen Canal over the valley of the River Dee in Wrexham County Borough in north east Wales. I was saddened to hear that just a few days after I'd filmed this a young boy fell to his death from the aqueduct.

Great work Dave, I went to this place to fly once but it was too windy that day. After watching this I must return to fly it. Thanks for sharing.
 
Cheers Glyn. A little way off is another aqueduct and rail viaduct together. Wouldn't it be something to get a barge and steam train in the same shot!

Now that would be a shot but I think you might have a better chance of winning the lottery.;)

How about a shot coming out of the Chirk tunnel and across the aqueduct. I don't think I would be brave enough to do that one.

The story goes that they built the railway higher than the aqueduct so the railway passengers could look down on the bargee's.
