Llangollen Round

'This is a truly magnificent high-level walk with Llangollen as the centrepiece in its valley below. It can be regarded as a 1-day challenge, or taken at a more leisurely pace over 2, 3, or 4 days. Terrain includes heather moorland, limestone grassland, deciduous and coniferous forest and open mountain tops. Late summer is the time to see the heather in bloom! Views are superb and range from Snowdonia to the mountains of mid-Wales. Wildlife abounds – in particular, various raptors are readily seen over the moorlands The route crosses Telford's renowned aqueduct at Pontcysyllte – although there is an alternative for those who would prefer not to! Certain points of the route are accessible by public transport, including the very scenic Llangollen Railway.'
