Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in northeastern Wales is the longest and highest cast-iron aqueduct in the world at 1000 feet long and 125 feet high. It was designed by Thomas Telford and built between 1805-1806, making him famous as the greatest builder of iron bridges and canals of his time. The aqueduct underwent renovations in 2003-2004 to preserve this important engineering structure from the early 19th century.

Holy Wells in the Kidwelly area
There were many holy wells in the Kidwelly area associated with saints. The geology of limestone around coal seams led to abundant spring water. Wells were visited on religious pilgrimages, often located by churches and monasteries. Pilgrims may have arrived by boat or along the Portway route, visiting wells like Ffynnon Fair, Ffynnon Stockwell, and Ffynnon Cobswell, before departing west along other pilgrimage routes. Wells were seen as holy sites and their waters believed to have healing properties, though over time some sites took on more secular roles in local customs. The origins and locations of some wells remain unclear.
