    The water drained into the lake nearby? Or that lake is the water that used to be there

      A field. The thing to remember. Llangollen is unlike most canals in the UK. It is used to move water so actually has a current. Meaning way more water would be in that field then just that stored between 2 locks.

      The article says the bank failed and drained into a field.
