38m high and I was floating!! - We had the loveliest 5km canoe ride along the tranquil Llangollen Canal to the Pontcysylte Aquaduct. The ride across was peaceful, with the most amazing views across the Welsh countryside. Truly an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Great experience - Alfie the instructor was very very good and patient also must mention the driver who waited patiently for us We enjoyed the canoeing it was good fun but stressful to start as we had 2 sets of instructions on where to meet up and we went to the first one which was wrong and forced us to be 35 mins late Good job the other 2 guys didn’t mind waiting for us . Once we got going the trip was more than I thought but hopefully it won’t happen to others !
