Canal boat holiday on the Llangollen Canal

The Buddy Moon crossed Pontcysyllte Aqueduct

June 26, 2025/in News/by Debbie Ludford

The Buddy Moon Youtube travel diary has reviewed a narrowboat holiday on the Llangollen Canal.

Earlier this month, Leanne and Dan from The Buddy Moon crossed the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, on the Llangollen Canal in North Wales.

They cruised along the 11-mile section of the canal designated at UNESCO World Heritage site, travelling to Llangollen and back. This included going across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, also known as ‘The Stream in the Sky’.

Leanne and Dan describe the experience of learning how to steer the boat, going through tunnels, operating lift bridges and mooring up. The Buddy Moon crossed Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and filmed the experience, capturing the amazing views!

On the first night of their trip, they visit the Telford Inn at Trevor Basin for pie and chips.

They experienced a three-night weekend break, picking their boat up from our narrowboat hire base at Chirk.

You can watch their first video, describing the journey across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, here Living on a Boat in Wales (Llangollen Canal)

Their second video picks up the journey from Trevor to Llangollen and includes a tour of their boat: http://FULL TOUR of Our OFF-GRID 54ft NARROW BOAT (Llangollen) – YouTube
