About Aberdulais Aqueduct
The Aberdulais Aqueduct is a historic establishment that stands as a true testament to the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Located at Station Road, Tonna, in the United Kingdom, this point of interest is a tourist attraction for history buffs and those interested in engineering marvels.
Built in 1795 by William Edwards, the Aberdulais Aqueduct spans almost 150 feet and carries the Swansea Canal over the Dulais River. The aqueduct features a series of arches that are supported by stone piers, while the canal is enclosed in a cast iron trough that runs on top of the structure. This innovative design was considered groundbreaking at the time and revolutionized the way engineers built aqueducts.
Today, the Aberdulais Aqueduct stands as an incredible feat of engineering and a reminder of the industrial revolution that once swept through this part of Wales. Visitors to the site are treated to a glimpse of the past and can enjoy a leisurely walk along the nearby canal or learn about the history of the aqueduct at the visitor centre.
The visitor centre at the Aberdulais Aqueduct is home to fascinating exhibits that chronicle the history of the aqueduct and its impact on the surrounding area. There, you can learn about the various trades that flourished in the area as a result of the canal, including coal mining and ironworks. You can also take part in interactive displays that demonstrate how the aqueduct works and the engineering techniques used to build it.
The Aberdulais Aqueduct is a must-visit for anyone interested in history, engineering, or simply looking to enjoy a scenic day out. So be sure to stop by and experience the wonder of this iconic tourist attraction.
