What it costs a family of four

Free

No admission charge for anyone. Parking or transport may still cost.

What to know

FREE. UNESCO listed. Thomas Telford's cast-iron trough carrying a canal 38m above the valley, with a towpath on one side and NOTHING AT ALL on the other - the water comes right to the edge. Not for anyone uneasy about heights, and quietly terrifying in a narrowboat.

When to go

The planner warns of wet in January, October, November, December. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
