I recently visited the pontcysyllte viaduct near Langollen with friends and marvelled at the early engineering as well as the incredible views from the centre as it passes over Glen Ceiriog, a view just made for capturing on canvas print.
The Ceiriog river twists rapidly beneath, writhing between stands of trees whilst the local houses climb the steep sides of the Vale forming both Trevor and Froncysyllte through which tumble narrow lanes.
The other side of Froncysyllte you climb steeply and then meander down a leafy lane past another ancient view worthy of capturing as a canvas photo, Offa’s Dyke.
Then past Chirk Castle, its dark stone walls in complete contrast to the bright blue sky formed my third view of the day.
Left down to Chirk itself brought us back to the canal, through two spectacular Tunnels before arriving back at the viaduct just as the sun was setting.
All in all a journey well worth taking and some unusual views to print on canvas.
