Llangollen
A lively town straddling the fast-flowing Dee beneath the hilltop ruin of Castell Dinas Brân. Llangollen is a World Heritage destination — Telford's breathtaking Pontcysyllte Aqueduct carries the canal high above the valley — with a heritage steam railway, horse-drawn canal boats and the Horseshoe Pass climbing behind town.
