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”. 😂😂

lovely place to stop and grab refreshments or a cool ice cream.

Only upon reaching this monument—a Celtic cross at its top—will the passing walker or hiker realize that this is not one of those small, sacred monuments that are frequently encountered. Rather, the cross standing here by the path serves as a war memorial, commemorating the many victims that war and tyranny have claimed, including in this place. Despite the significant distance in time between those days and the present, these memorials lose none of their relevance. Their constant reminder to maintain peace remains the everlasting message.

Lovely cafe with a decking overlooking the river.

Great pub with fantastic outside area next to the river. Good food and beer too!

Great walk for all abilities

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.

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