There was 8 of us – we began at Llantysilio Green picnic area just out of Llangollen we started with a steep climb up to Velvet hill with some very good views of the vale of Llangollen and the steam railway. We then dropped down to the valley passing Valli Crucis Abbey ruins before joining the Clwydian way and heading up towards the impressive crags and screes of Eglwyseg mountain. By lunchtime we had joined the Offa’s Dyke footpath which was followed southwards back towards Llangollen on the way back we climbed to the top of Dinas Bran where we inspected the ruins of the fort and enjoyed views of the town below we than followed the path down to the town and called for refreshments at the canal wharf tea room before following the canal towpath back to the Horseshoe fall and the car park .
The walk was superbly planned & led by Sue & Nigel
