After the trailer was posted, eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a potential scene involving the Llangollen canal and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. 

During the trailer, one scene involves a chase along a barge on a large aqueduct, resembling the hertiage site in Wrexham.

The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is the UK's longest and highest canal, situated in Trevor.

Built in 1795, the attraction is one of 26 cast iron aqueducts in the UK and part of the country's vast canal and river network.

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (1x79’) will premiere on BBC iPlayer and BBC One this Christmas and, outside of the UK, will be available globally on Netflix on 3 January 2025.
