Halloween boat trips across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct

Experience a Pontcysyllte Aqueduct Halloween boat trip this October half term

Our ‘Little Star’ trip boat will be operating daily Halloween themed boat trips over the October half term holiday (26-31 October).

Visitors can experience an unforgettable family day out together at the UNESCO World Heritage Pontcysyllte Aqueduct site.

At 300 metres long and 39 metres high, it’s the longest and highest aqueduct in Britain.

Our 45-minute-long return boat trips offer the chance to cruise across this incredible structure, experiencing amazing views across the Dee Valley.

Our knowledgeable team provides commentary on board about the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and the Llangollen Canal. It’s a great way to learn more about the fascinating history of the site as you cruise gently along, including some Halloween aqueduct ghost stories.

Steph Furniss from Anglo Welsh says: “It’s not surprising to learn there are lots of ghost stories associated with this World Heritage site that is over 100 years old.

“There are tales of an eerie figure gliding along the towpath close the aqueduct on moonlit nights. And a man who had been drinking in the pub at Frontcysyllte, walked home across the aqueduct and fell in hitting his head. He’s said to wander across the aqueduct and along the old tram line to Plas Kynaston.”

Refreshments are available to purchase on board, including hot and cold drinks, and ice creams.

From 26 to 31 October 2024, Halloween-themed trips depart daily at 11am, 12 noon, 1.30pm, 2.30pm and 3.30pm from Canal Wharf, Trevor, Llangollen LL20 7TT.

Adult tickets are priced at £10 each, children (aged under 16) are priced at £6.
