Next Walk : Saturday 12th July 2025
Our walks are to North Wales and the town of Llangollen, situated on the River Dee in Denbighshire which as it's name suggests, was originally a religious settlement. It is also part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and The Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Llangollen is famous for it's annual Eisteddfod, and the spectacular Poncysyllte Aqeuduct. Our leaders for 12.7.25 are Andrew for the A, and Eileen and Teresa for the B.
A walk (11 miles)
The A walk is11 miles and 1,800 ft. From Llangollen we will climb to Castell Dinas Bran, and then walk along the Offas Dyke path to Worlds End, returning past Valle Crusis Abbey and the Llangollen canal, there are great views and scenery throughout.
B walk (7 miles)
The B walk is also from Llangollen. It is 7 miles in length, with a total ascent of 974 ft. We begin by taking the canal path, passing the Royal International Pavilion, home of the Eisteddford, and continuing mostly on footpaths and minor roads via the ruins of Valle Crucis Abbey to the Offa’s Dyke path. We return to Llangollen either over or around Castell Dinas Bran (depending on the conditions on the day)
Llangollen has many shops to browse and places for refreshment to enjoy, or if more walking is what you want, stroll along the the Victoria Promenade to the Riverside Park.
