Thomas Telford’s Aqueducts on the Shropshire Union Canal

Thomas Telford is known for being one of the best civil engineers, and this is especially evident in his creation of five impressive aqueducts on the Shropshire Union Canal.

One of the most notable is located in Pontcysyllte, North Wales, where Telford constructed the highest iron-trough aqueduct in the world. This particular aqueduct is still in use today and has become a World Heritage Site, with narrow boats floating high above the beautiful Dee Valley. Telford also built other noteworthy aqueducts in Chirk, Longdon on Tern, Nantwich, and Stretton, each of which boasts originality and attractive design.
