Overview

We follow the Llangollen canal across Telford's Grade II listed aqueduct then joint the Maelor Way which takes us NE along the Ceiriog Valley.

Crossing the river we follow field paths and quite lanes to Black Park then pass through Pen y parc Wood to Pentre Village.

The return is along the Llangollen canal passing through the tunnel under the A5.
