Lllangollen has many things going for it. It is first of all set in a beautiful valley and the waters roar through under the bridges providing a picturesque scene. Around you are many hills with colours that vary as the seasons change. Amid all this natural beauty there are many man-made attractions. The first of these is the Llangollen canal and from the wharf above the town you can take a ride on a motor narrowboat or even a horse-drawn boat along the canal.

Although Llangollen is small with a population of around 3000, there is plenty to do and lots of things to spend your money on. I have stayed in two hotels there ...  Read the complete review
