Llangollen

Location: Llangollen Canal to Dinas Bran.
Description of this walk: A walk packed with history that begins and ends with the beautiful town of Llangollen.

Derek starts this walk in Llangollen and tracks the canal for two miles before heading out into open countryside.

He and local archaeologist Samantha Williams follow the walk around the Horseshoe Falls, then across hillsides and farmland to a ruined abbey and a castle.

"Llangollen has lots of different periods of history all in a relatively short space," says Williams. "We've got Bronze Age burial mounds, medieval castles, a Cistercian abbey and the industrial canal."
