Mr Telford's World Heritage Site

    As I present this thread I wonder how many other Nutters have World Heritage Sites stored away as jpegs and tiff files? I've got Stonehenge, Ironbridge and the Giants Causeway (and I've been to Rome, you know), we've seen Durham Cathedral on here, the Forth Bridge...what else have you got?

    This one - Pontcysyllte Aqueduct - is a huge long iron bath (made using ox blood), 126 feet above the River Dee. Thomas Telford and his mate William Jessop got their lads to build it in 1805.

    No1 for me. I enjoyed the visit but found the photo ops limited. A view from further afield would be the shot I think.
