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.
