Llangollen is one of the most beautiful places in Northwest Wales and definitely worth visiting for both the town and the surrounding natural beauty. It's also a good waypoint to stop and refuel, especially if you are planning on tackling the Horseshoe pass.

Smart small town with plenty of decent coffee shops, bakeries and ice cream shops. Classic Co-op too if needed. Lovely place to regroup before or after Horseshoe Pass.
