Llangollen

Llangollen's Unmissable Treasures

Llangollen sits within the Dee Valley and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB. This selection features the Horseshoe Falls, a Thomas Telford-designed weir feeding the Llangollen Canal, and the Llangollen Wharf, a hub for horse-drawn boat trips. Historical sites include the 13th-century Cistercian ruins of Valle Crucis Abbey and the hilltop medieval remains of Castell Dinas Brân. The Gothic Revival house Plas Newydd preserves the legacy of the Ladies of Llangollen, while the heritage railway offers steam-hauled journeys through the Welsh countryside.
