Welcome to the official ‘Aqueducks’ website, the on-line home to the Friends of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal World Heritage Site. We are a new group, so new in fact that our official launch will be held on Friday 6^th August, 2.00pm at TrevorBasin. So please bear with us as we find our feet and develop our website. We are currently constructing pages for our website that will include – information about us, local heritage & biodiversity, details of events and activities, details of our meetings and most importantly how you can join the Aqueducks.

A BIT MORE ABOUT US……

We are made up of community representatives from the 11 mile canal corridor that is the  Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal World Heritage Site. The canal became a World Heritage Site in June 2009 and was as a result of years of hard work by the 3 local authorities and local communities along the canal. The communities have played a vital role in getting the status and now we can focus on moving forward and become involved in the management of the site and also develop events and activities for communities and visitors to the canal. Not only did communities want to form a group but this is also a requirement of the World Heritage Site Status.

If you would like to know more about what we want to achieve, a copy  of our constitution will be available soon on our Information Page.
