2 Aqueduct Cottages

2 Aqueduct Cottages is a wonderful semi-detached cottage located right on the canal towpath, just a hundred yards from the Chirk Aqueduct running high above the River Ceiriog, which forms the border between England and Wales. Dating from 1847, this former Victorian wharf man’s cottage seamlessly blends character features alongside modern fixtures and fittings to provide a holiday home of real distinction. Head up the stairs to find three comfy bedrooms, two of which look over the canal, where you will also find a family bathroom. On the ground floor, the cosy sitting room boasts a roaring open fire, whilst to the rear of the cottage is a modern and well-equipped kitchen next to a dining room, as well as a shower room. Step out of the back door and you will find a beautiful lawned garden with both a patio and a decked area, where you can sit and relax as the canal boats chug quietly past. Stroll out of the front door and you immediately become a member of the canal boat community. Turn right and within a minute’s walk, you find yourself on the Thomas Telford-designed Chirk Aqueduct, which takes you 70 feet above the Ceiriog Valley into North Wales. Turn left along the towpath and down the road, and you will soon reach the Bridge Inn, where a warm welcome awaits. The small town of Chirk has a delightful selection of shops, cafes and pubs, as well as being home to Chirk Castle, a magnificent National Trust-owned medieval castle which not only features many fascinating historical artefacts, but also boasts fabulous gardens and woodland. Situated on the Welsh border, guests at Aqueduct Cottage can easily access the North Wales towns of Llangollen and Bala, as well as being just a short drive from the Roman city of Chester, famous for its racecourse, Roman Walls and the world-famous Chester Zoo. A superb base for a holiday that you will never forget.
