Anglo Welsh Waterway Holidays

About

Anglo Welsh's trip boat 'Little Star' ('Seren Fach') offers the chance to enjoy a boat trip across the UNESCO World Heritage Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

The 45-minute return trips take visitors along the Llangollen Canal and across the 38-metre high historic aqueduct, to experience amazing views across the Dee Valley.

Anglo Welsh's knowledgeable team provides commentary on board, so visitors can learn about the aqueduct and the history of the Llangollen Canal, as they cruise gently along. Refreshments are available to purchase on board, including hot and cold drinks and ice-creams.

'Little Star' offers space for up to 48 passengers.
