Tags: Waterway Tunnel.

Chirk Tunnel is a canal tunnel near Chirk Wales.It lies on the Llangollen Canal immediately northwards of the Chirk Aqueduct. It is 421 metres (460 yd) long and has a complete towpath inside. The tunnel is designed for a single standard narrowboat so passing is not possible. Fortunately the tunnel is straight enough to be able to see if a boat is already inside the tunnel.
