Pup Obi Travels

In the depth of the welsh borders lies the Llangollen Valley a very popular spot with people who like to explore history and features and come to see some fascinating places, an abbey, a lofty castle and the amazing aqueduct which cross the valley taking canal barges across the valley and for those who suffer vertigo like me we stay clear and miss such amazing views out.

I can’t deny how high the viaduct is. I did my best to try and cross part of it. Like 10% of the way across before giving up and walking back. But the sides are low and railings, so I failed to walk that far out on to the viaduct.  Mark did better walk a bit further.

Well the day we went we had to face the mizzely weather of a Welsh wet day, but to be honest it was such an experience to try and have a go walking over the aqueduct. Sadly I failed, my vertigo beat me down. I say my fella managed further than me but came and joined dme as we continued our explore. We remained on the main pathway going down below the aqueduct with views up the supports of the structure.

The picture below, is further down the river looking back towards the aqueduct.

Next time we go, I must try a bit further along the aqueduct, but I managed what i could for this moment and that was enough.

Following our walk around the aquaduct, we had a little nosy at Valle Crucis Abbey which is a few miles north of Llangollen which is now just a ruin. We didn’t go in this time, something for another day. But after our pit stop here we then had a short drive up onto the hills. A nice pleasant day out exploring.
