The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct stands at an incredible 126ft tall, carrying the Llangollen canal over the River Dee Valley in North Wales 🤯 It’s a designated @UNESCOUK World Heritage Site and it’s easy to see why! 💙 Have you visited Pontcysyllte Aqueduct?

Travelling at lightning-fast speeds, Kingfishers are notoriously difficult to spot! 🔍 Their speed, however, makes them fearsome predators, catching several fish a day 🐟 Have you been lucky enough to see a Kingfisher by your local canal or river? We’d love to see your photos 📸
