Stand up paddleboarding across Thomas Telford’s sister aqueduct in North Wales.
This paddle boarding in North Wales experience includes a half-day canal tour across Chirk Aqueduct and through Chirk Tunnel.
An Adventure on the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct’s sister, a great way to spend a half-day in Llangollen. Getting on the canal above Chirk Tunnel we will warm up and get used to our boards before travelling through the 400-meter tunnel with head torches on. After the tunnel, we paddle over Chirk aqueduct and continue along the canal before turning around and returning back over the aqueduct to get in point about 500 meters from where we get on.
This session can also be run as a full-day tour on request. Looking for something more challenging? Try our whitewater paddle boarding in Llangollen experience.
Excellent experience from start to finish. Andy was very helpful, from my initial inquiry, a couple of emails and a follow up phone call to confirm our requirements and make our booking. The 2 days were great fun, tiring, hard work but absolutely worth all the effort! We both learned so much and had a great time, a big Thank You to Jon and Andy.
