Llangollen

Few towns in Wales have a history as closely tied to the canal engineering of the Industrial Revolution as Llangollen. Set in the Dee Valley beside the River Dee and below the Berwyn Mountains, this market town marks the terminus of the Llangollen Canal. Water diverted from the Dee at Horseshoe Falls supplies the canal, while a section towards Trevor forms part of the UNESCO-listed Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal. Above the town, the 13th-century ruins of Castell Dinas Brân recall its medieval past. Since 1947, the International Musical Eisteddfod has brought performers and audiences from many countries each summer.
