Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then onto the Welsh Borders and Wrexham where we stay for four nights.

Today we visit the ancient market town of Llangollen, nestled within the beautiful Dee Valley and under the watchful gaze of Dinas Bran Castle. Here we enjoy a relaxing cruise along some of the canal which forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site by horse drawn barge - a wonderfully tranquil way to take in the flora and fauna of this route.
