Great underfoot.Peaceful and lovely scenery. Talk to the people on passing barges; or fellow walkers. Rest for a while on the benches provided- or dream awhile! More

Nothing to dislike at all. Take a stroll from Llangollen to the Horse shoe falls or go the opposite direction to the Aquaduct. Well worth it and a pleasant day out. Relax at the side of the canal with a picnic and watch the canal boats drifting by. More

Enjoy a nice walk along the canal with no roads to cross, if you pick the right time you can get the horse drawn canal boat back. More
