To dip into a bygone era, from Llangollen Wharf, take a canal trip across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
in a canal boat, or visit the Llangollen Victorian

If you're feeling energetic, hike up to Castell Dinas Bran (Crow's Castle), so worn that it's practically melting into the mountaintop,

Chwarel Wynne Slate Mine and Museum (Chirk,
near Llangollen) – What's amazing about this mine is that there
are vast underground caverns, miles of them, some of over 60 ft. high, and
they were carved out by miners quarrying slate! |
