The Llangollen Canal follows the valley of the River Dee for many miles. My photograph shows a view of the river as it flows under the Cysylltau Bridge (also known as the Pont Cysyllte or the Bont Bridge). It was taken from the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct that carries the canal across the valley. Cysylltau Bridge is a sandstone structure built in 1697 and extensively rebuilt in the eighteenth century. Though it has only a narrow single carriageway six feet wide it is still used by vehicles travelling in both directions.
