Llangollen & back from Trevor
Trevor Head towards Llangollen from Trevor, close to the Canal & River Trust’s Pontcysyllte Aqueduct Visitor Centre and the Pontcysyllte Tea Room.
The Sun The canal soon narrows and you’ll need someone to hop off with a mobile phone to check that the navigation is clear. You’ll pass the canalside Sun pub and enjoy views of the valley below.
Llangollen You can moor up in Llangollen Basin (charges apply) and explore the town, including the Llangollen Steam Railway, Plas Newydd house and gardens and the Horseshoe Falls. There are many independent shops and places to eat, including the popular Corn Mill with stunning river and mountain views. And you can climb up to Castell Dinas Bran for amazing views.
*NB The Llangollen Canal transports drinking water from the River Dee at Horseshoe Falls to Hurleston Reservoir. So when you head towards Llangollen it takes slightly longer than the return journey, as you’re going against the flow.
