Llangollen and the Dee Valley
Renowned for the surrounding hills and the River Dee, Llangollen has something for all our clients. There is an astonishing range of cafés, restaurants, and interesting independent shops to browse and interesting places to visit. But it is its magnificent position ampngst the hill surrounding the town, and the delightful Dee Valley that we want you to experience.
Llangollen is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site along eleven miles of canal from Gledrid to the Horseshoe Falls via the spectacular Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. The town was also awarded Cittaslow status in 2013.
Llangollen is great place to visit. Llangollen has a reputation for welcoming people, whether for a day or two or longer.
Walking around the Dee Valley and the fringes of the Brewyn Mountains is superb. Offa's Dyke runs through this area, and the walk along it - it is called the Panorama , a spectacular and dominating outcrop of Carboniferous Limestone from Worlds End and Eglwyseg to Trevor is stunning. Great outcrops of limestone providing walkers and climbers with ample scope to escape civilisation for a while, as we walk under the magnificent limestone cliffs.
Then there is Llangollens castle - Castell Dinas Bran - perched on a rock outcrop, a ruin now but a lovely walk to the top and round it. Where else would you find a steam railway, horse drawn boats on a canl and Telfords magnificent A5 highway to Holyhead in such close proximity
If walking is your passion and you never tire of stunning views,- then this area is for you.

Hi Alan, Barbara, Julie and Trevor, I arrived home safely last night, and just wanted to say thank you for organising a fantastic weekend. It’s hard to know what to expect when you book something like this online, but everything on your website was spot on, you delivered exactly what you said you would – and lots more. The flexibility of the walks, the flexible arrival/departure dates, the friendly hotel staff, the pub lunches you organised, your knowledge of the area, the location, the realistic price, it all contributed to making it a weekend to remember – and of course a great bunch of people, I can’t remember when I have laughed so much! I’m looking forward to the next one already – hopefully in August. Thanks again, Helen from Marlow (and you are welcome to use any of this on your website)
