Trefonen to Pont-Cysyllte Aqueduct

MBack to the gentle hills here, culminating in a distant view of Chirk Castle. An optional route on the walk visits the castle, with its sculptured gardens and beautifully restored interior. This is one of the more photogenic days of the walk. Then a descent to the Dee Valley and its awe- inspiring aqueduct, which carries the Telford Canal over the river. Boats take tourists on this canal, which connects with others, on relatively long trips.
