narrow tunnel about 150m which must be traversed if you want to stay on the canal path

This is the first place you come to if you take the canal route into Llangollen. Make sure you dismount before getting to the horse drawn boats.

Wide enough for one boat, and with a towpath all the way through, the Whitehouse tunnel lies between Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Chirk. It is an impressive 175 metres long and was completed between 1795 and 1802. It was designed by Thomas Telford and William Jessop. With the aid of a torch, navigate yourself through this 18th century tunnel, under the traffic of the A5. It’s quite an adventure, be sure to go steadily and be aware of others on foot, or on boats! Please dismount and use you headlight to see the path in front.

The area is popular with walkers, cyclists and tourists. The Offa's Dyke Path passes through World's End. World's End lies on a single track road from the small village of Minera near Wrexham, which crosses Esclusham Mountain and the Ruabon Moors to a public car park at the top of the Eglwyseg valley. The road crosses the Eglwyseg River by a ford, then goes on towards Pentre Dŵr, under the Horseshoe Pass, leading eventually to Llangollen or onto the Panorama in Trevor. Near World’s End is the manor house Plas Ucha yn Eglwyseg, built in 1563. It was for a time the home of John Jones Maesygarnedd, one of the signatories of the death warrant for Charles I of England. The building is said to stand on the site of a hunting lodge of Owain ap Cadwgan, prince of Powys, where Owain carried Nest (daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr) when he stole her away from her husband Gerald de Windsor in 1109.

I really cant stress how slippy the ford is and wet and painful

Bangor Bridge (also known as the Bangor-on-Dee Bridge) is a Grade I listed bridge crossing the River Dee in Bangor-on-Dee, Wrexham County Borough, Wales. It is situated on the community boundary between Bangor-is-y-Coed and Sesswick. Located to the west of Bangor-on-Dee, it connects the village's high street and the A525 road bypass. The narrow bridge is a one-way traffic bridge, west to east, and is downstream (north) of the Bangor by-pass bridge.

No matter what the weather or time of year, there’s nothing quite like homemade fare in welcoming surroundings. The Llangollen Wharf is also home to Horse Drawn Boats and Aqueduct Barge Trips and Serves breakfast, soup, cakes, snacks and a very popular Afternoon Tea. You will need to dismount your bike as you come through this area due to horses pulling boats. Children and outside seating it can get quite busy because it's a popular area along the canal. They also have toilets.

The 18-arched stone and cast iron structure is for use by narrowboats and was completed in 1805 having taken ten years to design and build. It is 12 feet (3.7 metres) wide and is the longest aqueduct in Great Britain as well as the highest canal aqueduct in the world. A towpath runs alongside the watercourse on one side. The aqueduct was to have been a key part of the central section of the proposed Ellesmere Canal, an industrial waterway that would have created a commercial link between the River Severn at Shrewsbury and the Port of Liverpool on the River Mersey.
