Reviews of Longdon-on-Tern Aqueduct
R. H.A near-lost piece of incredible history - Thomas Telford's first ever iron aquaduct - it's a shame there isn't more information at the site but definitely worth a visit.
There is roadside parking just a short walk from it so easy to get to and no costs or anything associated with it.
C. I. M.Loved it here. Well worth a visit
T. T.The oldest surviving cast iron aqueduct in the world and the best part of visiting is you can walk in the trough because the canal was demolished years ago. Thank god this structure survived! There's a free car park in the form of a layby and you need to cross a field in order to reach the aqueduct. The sign at the road will tell you where to go.
B. N.Amazingly low key for such a significant historic structure. Huge bull in the field which made Sue my wife nervous. (only terrified me! Drum the Lab on a short lease) Nice drive around the local villages still very much functional rural places based on local agriculture.
P. S.This noteworthy engineering feet was achieved in the 1790's. Thomas Telford one of the worlds most celebrated Engineers designed and supervised the construction of this viaduct for canal boats which crosses over the River Tern at Longdon. The viaduct is no longer in use, however the cast iron steel segments which make up the base and side walls of are still intact, they were bolted together and their joints were sealed with tar all of which was produced during the industrial revolution at the nearby Iron Bridge Gorge. The bridge can be accessed from a layby on the B5063 by a short walk through farmers fields; park up and enjoy a walkabout.
D. A.Visited from afar. I think there may be access over the fields via right of way footpaths BUT no signs, so I couldn't visit properly as I may have been trespassing. The need for some form of signs etc is needed. Shame......
A. R.Lovely historic structure build by Thomas Telford
S. N.If you find this sort of place interesting then it was superb. Short, and sometimes muddy walk, to see the first cast iron aqueduct preceeding Ironbridge.
W. H.Thomas Telford's first cast iron aqueduct 1796, carried a long defunct Shrewsbury canal. Public footpath from B5063 gives access.
M. K.A bit hard to find. Go across the meadow. The aqueduct is not working, derfor you're able to see the construction.
s. n.It's only a few 100m off the main road and well worth a close look
N. T.A Lovely area to walk with interesting historical structures
P. W.Worth a visit if interested in Thomas Telford s work
P. G. M.This is a fascinating slice of history that needs preserving
S. W.Little known spot
G. R.Great place
