Llangollen Canal Walk

Cheshire, Denbighshire, Wrexham

This canal towpath walk initially follows the Shropshire Union Canal to Hurleston Junction where access is gained to the Llangollen Canal. Passing Whitchurch, Ellesmere, and the junction with the Montgomery Canal, it continues beyond Chirk, Trevor and Llangollen. Walkers can also cross the famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.

JANUARY 2024: Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, east of LLangollen, will be closed between 2nd January and 15th March 2024 for essential maintenance work. During this period there will be no access to either the towpath or the canal itself. The LLangollen Canal Walk will need to use the B5434 alongside the aqueduct as an alternative.
UPDATE March 8th 2024:The Canal & River Trust say that the aqueduct (and towpath) will re-open on schedule by March 15th 2024.
