So how do I feel about crossing the UK’s longest cast-iron aqueduct?
I feel as if more people should know about this. It sounds very impressive, but
it’s just there. It’s basically a narrow trough that you can walk alongside,
and it’s not even deep. You could probably swim in it if there aren’t any boats
around. Perhaps it’s not well-known as there are aqueducts in greater beauty spots,
or there are longer aqueducts made out of different materials. After all, the
longest is actually in Wales. It’s a technical whim, and the locals are trying
to blow their own trumpet. There’s a nice bit of land below, but there’s not much
in the sense of elevation or scenery unless you’re not used to a bit of green.
There’s not even a busy road. Still, it connects one point to another, and it
was probably an experimental engineering feat in its time.
