The Stream in the Sky Exhilarating and exciting are not words you normally associate with a canal, but you will at Pontcysyllte Aqueduct They call it ‘the stream in the sky’ for a reason and here’s why: it ’ s 126ft high and 1,007ft long, with 19 stone arches carrying the Llangollen canal - and many intrepid visitors - high across the River Dee You can walk it (use the handrail!) or take a leisurely barge trip, and feel like you ’ re floating on air
