The Local Area

There are many local wonders worth a visit in and around Llangollen.

Taking the A5 towards Corwen will bring you to the charming Tudor style Railway Station at Berwyn. Crossing the river here will take you past the Interesting Chan Bridge, from here it is but a stone's throw to the Thomas Telford designed Horseshoe Falls, which feeds the Llangollen Canal from the River Dee.

Past Valle Crucis Abbey and Eliseg's Pillar towards the spectacular Horseshoe pass. Returning down the old Horseshoe pass Road will take you to World's End, the Eglwyseg Rocks, the Panorama and the back of the ancient ruins od Castell Dinas Bran, where views over the town are simply breathtaking.

Drop town through the quaint village of Garth to Thomas Telford's Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. Cross the river below and return to the town to see the famous 'Old Ladies' House - Plas Newydd. Then return to Gales for liquid fortification - you've earned it.

Llangollen is also the ideal base location for exploring further afield. From the lakes of Bala and Betws y Coed to the mountains of Snowdonia and the Coastlines of North and Mid Wales. In Llangollen you are also positioned within easy reach of the main arterial routes to Chester, Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham.
