Join me as I explore route 84 of the national cycle network from Chirk train station along the Llangollen branch of the Shropshire union canal. We join the canal just after the Chirk tunnel and Chirk Aqueduct but don't worry we have another tunnel to pass through along the way and an aqueduct to cross on the journey. We pass through the Whitehouse tunnel, 175 meter in length before coming to the Dee valley. We cross the Dee valley on the world famous, Thomas Telford designed Pontcysyllte aqueduct, 38 meters above the river Dee. We great views of the valley and the Cefn viaduct which takes the train line between Shrewsbury and Chester. We also have a look at the Froncysyllte lime kilns and the Kronospan factory along the way.

To carry on along route 85 this is the video guide:
