Our Picturesque Landscape

Horseshoe Falls Improvements

Our Picturesque Landscape has embraced the start of the second year of delivery with the installation of new heritage railings at the Horseshoe Falls viewpoint and canal intake.

Created by a Welsh blacksmith, the railings have opened up the ‘nose’ area of the viewpoint previously closed off to the public and created an interesting and accessible feature of the start of the 11 mile Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal World Heritage Site.
