Places to Visit   The Llangollen Railway A group of enthusiastic volunteers started the rebirth of the line with an open day in September 1975, with 60 feet of track; since then the line has rarely looked back. The efforts of the growing band of volunteers have seen it extended to some 7½ miles along the Dee Valley through outstanding Welsh scenery, with views over the valley and its surroundings Click the photo for Touring Information Places to visit and Days Out. Llangollen Llangollen nestles within the beautiful Dee Valley in the North East of Wales. It is a town of varied parts, with plenty to interest the most discerning of visitors. It is also host to many different international events each year, the most famous being the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod. Llangollen is where the world comes to Wales and Wales welcomes the world. Click the photo for Touring Information Places to visit and Days Out. Beaumaris Castle Begun in 1295, this unfinished castle is the last and largest of King Edward I’s Welsh fortifications. Designed by the king’s mason-architect, Master James of St George, it is a perfect example of a concentrically planned castle. Formidable defences survive, surrounded by a partly restored moat.
