Chirk Aqueduct & Tunnel Canoe Tour

An alternative to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

The great Chirk Aqueduct and Tunnel adventure 

A not-to-be-missed activity in Llangollen, North Wales!

Experience this unique and exciting canoe adventure, taking you over the impressive Chirk Aqueduct and through the mysterious Chirk tunnel. 

An alternative to our Pontcycsllte Aquduct Canoe Tour, the Chrik Aqueduct is the sister aqueduct on the Llangollen Canal UNESCO World Heritage Site. Chirk Aqueduct, as well as 11 miles of the Llangollen canal, were officially declared as one of the world’s greatest heritage sites in the world (on par with the Pyramids, the Taj Mahal and the Acropolis!)

Completed in 1801, just four years before its big sister at Pontcysyllte, Chirk Aqueduct offers fantastic views up the Ceiriog Valley. We will enjoy a picturesque journey down the Llangollen Canal including both the Chirk Aqueduct and Chirk Tunnel before returning to our start point.

Everyone is welcome on this unforgettable adventure. With our range of both 2 and 3-seater canoes, we can accommodate all group sizes, making this the perfect trip for individuals, couples, families, school groups, stag and hen dos, and corporate team training. It’s also dog-friendly! (at the owner’s own risk).

Perfectly situated close to the A5 route into Snowdonia, why not add this half-day activity to a weekend break in North Wales? 

This canoe experience includes a half-day paddle on the Llangollen Canal, including logistics, one of our experienced instructors, canoes, paddles and safety equipment. Children are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent. If you’d prefer a kayaking trip on the aqueduct, then please get in touch.

My Wife and I chose the 3 hour canoe experience, across the viaduct. We would recommend this to anyone. It was a great enjoyable morning. Really pleased we booked this activity. Chris our tutor/guide was fab
