Overview

10 miles starting from Carrog, by the bridge over the River Dee. A short steep ascent, then a more gradual ascent through woodland, until the path levels out and we enjoy amazing panoramic views over the beautiful countryside. One or two more undulations, but the last half of the walk is almost all downhill, reaching Horseshoe Falls on the river, and the start of the canal into Llangollen, where there is plenty of choice for refreshments.
