Llangollen rests in the Dee Valley. It is a hub for history and nature. My top tip is to walk the canal path. You can see the horses pull the boats for free. It is a prime choice for a low cost day out. The stone bridge over the river has four arches. You can hear the water rush over the rocks. To the north, the ruins of Dinas Brân sit on a steep hill. You can hike to the top to see the valley floor. The town hosts a world song event each July. You can ride the steam train to see the hills. The air is fresh and the streets are full of life. It is a smart spot for a trip.
