We are Jones the Boats, operating friendly narrowboat trips from Trevor near Llangollen. Come and join us on the restaurant narrowboat 'Eirlys' for the trip of a lifetime - a cruise along the Llangollen canal across the 'stream in the sky' - Thomas Telford's famous Pontcysyllte aqueduct, 126 feet above the valley floor.
Eirlys is the Welsh word for "snowdrop". The narrowboat Eirlys has been a regular sight on the Llangollen canal for over a decade.
Brightly decorated in the traditional canalboat style, Eirlys can seat over 50 passengers in comfort - ideal for large coach parties.
