UNESCO World Heritage Site - Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal
North East Wales’ very own ‘stream in the sky' and as important as Stonehenge Walk along the Llangollen Canal and on approaching its towering arches across the Dee Valley come into view. Great views from the top, narrowboat cruises and boat hire are available but it's also worth visiting as a walker. Take the B road towards Froncysyllte and (if safe to do so!) look up at the aqueduct. If there's a boat crossing at the time, it puts the dimensions into perspective.
Castel Dinas Bran, Llangollen
This landmark is a must do if you’re physically able. I climbed with a 2, 4, 6 and 75 year old!
A relatively easy but uphill climb - the castle was built c. 1260AD and is very atmospheric.
The views at the top are incredible and some of the stone ruins make for great ‘frames’ for your photos. There are several boards providing information. Take your time to enjoy the peace and quiet.
Lots of other great walks around this area, the Eglwyseg limestone escarpment can be seen to the East and Worlds End is a lovely walk.
CADW Rhug Chapel and Langar
Have you any idea what beauty lies just off the A5 near Corwen. Rhug Chapel looks like any other from the outside but inside is a riot of 17th century decoration which gives a unique insight in to how our ancestors worshipped before the Victorians.
The carvings and artwork will blow you away and there’s also a small exhibition. Soak up the quiet and calm mixed with the wow factor of the inside and cast your imagination back to bygone days.
Langar Church is a few centuries older than Rug Chapel. Its simple appearance once again hides wonders inside. Check with CADW or Rhug about entry. A nice easy walk along the old railway line from Corwen.
Llangollen Heritage Railway
If you love train journeys spend a day on the train journeying from Corwen to Llangollen along the beautiful Dee Valley.
History - Erddig, National Trust
If you're a member of National Trust you can get in free, but it’s well worth paying if you’re not.
Amazing house and gardens. Tours of inside and outside are well worth doing. Such a lot to see and do, take a picnic and you can spend most of the day here in spring and summer.
One of the finest National Trust sites, impressive range of buildings and grounds. Also the Hayloft restaurant offers good food in nice surroundings.
History - Chirk Castle, National Trust
An imposing Welsh Castle well worth a visit, interesting rooms and beautiful gardens. It is a long walk up from the car park but if you have mobility problems then make use of the mini bus.
The structure and design of the castle is really impressive, the rooms on view are fully furnished with fascinating wall and ceiling decoration and the castle has a great dark and dank dungeon.
Activities for children and nice walks in the grounds.
History - Plas Newydd, Llangollen
When in Llangollen this house is a must see and I believe it is well worth the ticket price.
The house is steeped in history and the rooms are filled with intricate wood panelling and are fascinating to walk round.
Lovely tea rooms, lovely gardens, great views and interesting history.
