Wales is best known for its beautiful countryside and its picturesque towns. Llangollen, a small town in northwestern Wales, is the perfect spot to experience the best of both worlds. The town is home to several historic sites from different time periods, like the ruins of Castell Dinas Brân and Valle Crucis Abbey, or the historic Georgian home Plas Newydd. Llangollen sits at the base of Berwyn Mountains, where hikers are rewarded with breathtaking views and glimpses of wildlife. One of the things Llangollen is most famous for are its festivals. The yearly Llangollen Fringe Festival features a wide variety of acts from drama to dance, while the Musical Eisteddfod features musical performances from around the globe.
