The Llantysilio Green weir, more commonly known as the Horseshoe Falls, is a 140-meter-long, horseshoe-shaped weir designed by Thomas Telford in 1808 to divert water from the River Dee into the Llangollen Canal. This prominent structure is a significant piece of engineering and a feature of the World Heritage Site, providing water for the canal and attracting tourists with its unique design and surrounding landscape. The Llantysilio Green Car Park is a designated access point for visiting the falls. In the late 19th century a long piece of wood, about 30cm wide, floated on the water here to deflect floating debris away from the canal intake. It was fixed at one end. It’s visible in the photo, taken c.1890. Some trippers couldn’t resist the temptation to walk along it, ignoring a warning sign nearby, if they weren’t spotted by the “waterman” in charge of the sluice. Local residents took a dim view of such “unheeding folly”. 😂😂

Follow the switch back path to the top. The views are superb.

Great walk for all abilities

Went up on a beautiful crisp late morning hike from car park but could be nice to go from town of Llangollen

Stunning panoramic ridge walk with views up and down the Llangollen valley.

Lots of walking trails in this area just outside Llangollen!

Llangollen is a town and community, situated on the River Dee, in Denbighshire, Wales. Its riverside location forms the edge of the Berwyn range, and the Dee Valley section of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the easternmost point of the Dee Valley Way being within the town. It is a wonderful location to ride on all kinds of bikes with the canal running along Llangollen its much better to take that route as the roads are very busy.

The Chain Bridge crosses the River Dee at Llantysilio, linking Telford’s work on the canal with his road to Holyhead. It was built by Exuperius Pickering Senior in 1817. He wanted exclusive access to the canal to transport coal, limestone and iron bars to the west without paying the tolls in Llangollen.

Located on the River Dee, near to Llantysilio, this masterpiece of Thomas Telford Engineering is where the Pontcysllte Aqueduct and Canal World Heritage site begins. He designed this weir to draw water from the River Dee in to the canal, and it became a stunning addition to the landscape. At 460ft (140M) long, it’s a sight to behold.

Nice canal, a great hike to do is from Pontcysyllte Aqueduct to Llangollen itself. The latter being a UNESCO world heritage site.

This is the first place you come to if you take the canal route into Llangollen. Make sure you dismount before getting to the horse drawn boats.

The Chainbridge Hotel is one of the most famous and historic hotels in Llangollen and is situated in a unique position between the dramatic fast-flowing waters of the River Dee and the serene Llangollen Canal. Only a short ride from the stunning Horseshoe Falls waterfall, The Chainbridge Hotel is perfectly located to explore the wonders of this World. They serve good food there was a wedding when we arrived which was beautiful.

A great walk up to this point a stone memorial has been placed at the spot

No matter what the weather or time of year, there’s nothing quite like homemade fare in welcoming surroundings. The Llangollen Wharf is also home to Horse Drawn Boats and Aqueduct Barge Trips and Serves breakfast, soup, cakes, snacks and a very popular Afternoon Tea. You will need to dismount your bike as you come through this area due to horses pulling boats. Children and outside seating it can get quite busy because it's a popular area along the canal. They also have toilets.

Llangollen Bridge is built across the River Dee at the North end of the high street of Llangollen in the county of Denbighshire in North-east Wales. The Bridge is listed as one of the seven wonders of Wales and is a Grade I listed building. There has been a bridge across the Dee at Llangollen since at least 1284, though the current bridge appears to date to the 16th or 17th century when an earlier bridge was rebuilt. The current bridge has been enlarged numerous times since then, doubling in width. The bridge is still in use.

The distinctively shaped weir, which is 460 feet (140 m) long, helps create a pool of water that can enter the Llangollen Canal (via an adjacent valve house and flow meter). The canal west of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and the construction of the weir were authorised by an Act of Parliament obtained in 1804 by the Ellesmere Canal Company. The canal was a navigable feeder, which supplied water to the Ellesmere Canal beyond Pontcysyllte, and to the Chester Canal, to which it connected near Nantwich. Thomas Telford was the civil engineer responsible for the design, and the canal and feeder were completed in 1808.

Great little feature on the gate. A little unexpected, my dog had a good sniff haha

Definitely worth the hike up the hill. Go do it - it looks worse than it is!! Really slippery underfoot when it's wet, so advise to wear proper footwear. Amazing views from the top.

Looks a great little railway station. Always great to see a steam train!!

These ruins are what remains of a Cistercian monastery founded in the 13th century. Its name, meaning "Valley of the Cross," alludes to the nearby Pillar of Eliseg. The abbey's well-preserved ruins and serene setting in the valley make it a popular historical and scenic attraction for visitors.
