デンビーシャーの峡谷・トップ6

The area is popular with walkers, cyclists and tourists. The Offa's Dyke Path passes through World's End. World's End lies on a single track road from the small village of Minera near Wrexham, which crosses Esclusham Mountain and the Ruabon Moors to a public car park at the top of the Eglwyseg valley. The road crosses the Eglwyseg River by a ford, then goes on towards Pentre Dŵr, under the Horseshoe Pass, leading eventually to Llangollen or onto the Panorama in Trevor. Near World’s End is the manor house Plas Ucha yn Eglwyseg, built in 1563. It was for a time the home of John Jones Maesygarnedd, one of the signatories of the death warrant for Charles I of England. The building is said to stand on the site of a hunting lodge of Owain ap Cadwgan, prince of Powys, where Owain carried Nest (daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr) when he stole her away from her husband Gerald de Windsor in 1109.

I really cant stress how slippy the ford is and wet and painful

Stunning road. The ford is extremely slippery!

Be careful on the ford, I straight lined it slowly and my front wheel still went from under me leaving me with a bent hangar!

The views from here are unreal, and for any trail runner, the trails underfoot are challenging, yet fast and fun.

Challenging underfoot, skipping from bolder to bolder for most of the ascent, but you'll be rewarded with incredible views and a rapid gain in elevation

Actually a road you have to ride. The best reference to make, in my opinion, is from New Brighton. Climb past the mines, over the grid (heard this cuckoo) and a view towards Minera, Coedpoeth and east beyond. Poor road quality at top, but right on descent towards Llangollen with views towards the Ceiriog valley. Beware of the opaque ford on the hook about half way down!

A gently climbing approach to the foot of Eglwyseg, an incredible row of protruding crags that dominate the skyline.
