    It is an aqueduct. These are pictures I took of the Pontcysyllte
    aqueduct which was built in 1795. The canal is fed from the River Dee
    at the Horseshoe Falls just out of Llangollen and the Dee runs under
    the aqueduct. The famous engineer, Thomas Telford, built Pontcysyllte
    Aqueduct near Llangollen in Wales

    Not as big as the other one, but I think older.

    down from above. You can see a bike in the lower left corner if you
    look.
