| After our walk down to the River Dee, we walked back up to the little church and then drove about 2 miles to Llangollen, a very popular tourist town, in a beautiful setting with hills all around and the River Dee running right through the town. It's just a very lovely area!
We walked around town, had lunch at a nice little cafe, then walked down to the Llangollen Railway Station and watched a steam train, which thrilled Ken, as he loves anything steam but especially trains! Afterwards, we left and got on a little narrow road going through some beautiful countryside and ended up at the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. We walked on the aqueduct and then headed on home, after a really nice day out. Hope you've enjoyed your day out with us. Janie & Ken |
