Nowhere on the LR web site could I find a timetable for the Classic Transport museum which makes life difficult when you have to guess where to turn up and when. I turned up at Carrog at about 12:30 and guessed correctly there would be a train there. The LR web site also invited to see me at Llangollen where, as most people know, parking is extremely difficult and expensive.

Expectional Day. Beautiful scenery, friendly and helpful staff. Gor off the train at Carrog and 10 walk to The Grouse Inn. Sunday lunch was superb, sat outside overlooking the River Dee and beautiful scenery. Highly recommended day out. Worth every penny.
