HFF. Southern portal of the tunnel

HFF. Southern portal of the tunnel
This tunnel is a canal tunnel near Chirk, Wales. It lies on the Llangollen Canal, immediately northwards of the Chirk Aqueduct. It is 421 metres (460 yd) long and has a complete towpath inside.

The tunnel is designed for a single standard narrowboat, so passing is not possible. The tunnel is straight enough to be able to see if a boat is already inside the tunnel, and boats are required to show a light.

The tunnel was completed in in 1801.

Yes, we have walked through this tunnel several times. A torch is necessary, and good boots as the towpath can be a bit rutted and slightly wet.

We were not far from here this past summer - at a conference center south of Whitchurch. Did some hiking in the Shropshire Hills, saw Chester and Ironbridge.

Great photo. Makes me want to go back and spend more time there. Have friends in Wrexham.
