The Aqueduct Community
Association aims to bring together the villages of
Garth, Trevor and Froncysyllte to promote and encourage
discussion and participation in community events,
issues, activities and groups in order to improve the
quality of life for the whole community “to excite,
engage, stimulate and fulfil”
As
one community we can share the skills and efforts of all
our organisations to further enhance the villages. By
combining these skills, and with careful planning, we
can gain funding to further improve and promote our
community for the public benefit of rural regeneration.
From young to old we all have an individual
responsibility to our community, we need to share the
same desire to succeed and by combining the young and
old within the villages we will succeed as one. |

On Saturday 27th June 2009 the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct received
World Heritage Status.
Thomas Telford's masterpiece in Pontcysyllte has joined the likes of
the Great Barrier Reef, the Taj Mahal and the Acropolis in being
granted the honour by UNESCO.
The announcement was confirmed by a
panel representing 21 nations at a UNESCO (United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) meeting in the
Spanish city of Seville on Saturday evening.
The bid, which began in 1999 when the structure was put on the UK's
list of potential World Heritage Sites, has been led by Wrexham
Council with British Waterways.
But did you know that it's not just the Aqueduct that has World
Heritage status, there is actually an 11 mile corridor that starts
at the Horseshoe falls in Llangollen and ends at Chirk Bank, Chirk.
