Starting point




Denbighshire
LL20 8SY

A very easygoing, predominantly flat ride along the canal towpath from Llangollen to Chirk (and back)

We will be walking across the Pontcysyllte aqueduct, and also walking through two tunnels (one of which is quite long and dark - lights needed).

The route is mostly is traffic free, along the canal towpaths. There is a very short amount of riding on road at Pontcysyllte and at Chirk . The biggest hazards are pedestrians, loose dogs and children so we need to ride courteously and if you have a bell, please attach it to your bike for this ride. With it being the school holidays the path may be busier than usual.

We will stop at the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct to walk our bikes across and to take photos. We then will carry on (through two tunnels) until we reach the Chirk Aqueduct. We will not be crossing this one, we will take a look at it/photos, then then head into Chirk for refreshments at Castle Bistro.

After this we will then head back to Llangollen.

A FRONT light in particular is required on this ride please as the tunnels (especially the long one) is pitch dark without one.

Please bring money if you want to buy anything at the cafe (£10 min spend for card), inner tubes and helmets advisable please. Any type of bike is suitable for this route as long as it is in good working order.

We never leave anyone behind
