We head further east on this day, into the valley of the Dee and the borderlands of North East Wales. The natural centre is Llangollen, itself an attractive small town at an important crossing point of the Dee. The river is quite wild at this point and it’s a great pleasure to spend time on its banks watching canoeists battle their way through. On a gentler note, the town is also a cultural centre, hosting an International Eisteddfod (festival).
Yet another World Heritage Site is nearby – the famous Pontcysyllte aqueduct which takes the Llangollen canal soaring above the valley of the River Dee. You can visit Telford’s masterpiece from below or for those who want to brave the heights, you can walk across. Nearby are also the atmospheric ruins of Vale Crucis Abbey and the hilltop castle of Dinas Bran – the City of the Crow.
We can include visits to
- Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
- Llangollen canal
- Valle Crucis Abbey
- Horseshoe Pass
- Llangollen Town
- Denbigh Castle
- Corwen & Owain Glyndwr
