Overview

A beautiful walk, starting in Trevor (Pont-Cysyllte car park) which takes in the marvellous Pont-Cysyllte aquaduct , and then climbs steadily through fields and woodland where we will have elevenses.

We then continue with this undulating walk, passing the flanks of Pen-y-Coed and dropping down into Llangollen. 

After passing through Llangollen we climb again up to Castell Dinas Bran where we plan to have lunch. From there the walk drops down onto the panorama route and then Offa's Dyke path all the way back to Trevor
