Attractions near Pen y Banc

This is a list of the attractions near this property that are featured on AboutBritain.com
It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all attractions near this property.
Rug Chapel and Llangar Church (6 Miles)*
These delightful religious sites are located close together in beautiful countryside just west of Corwen. Rug is a rare example of a little-altered private 17th century chapel. Llangar Church is even older than Rug.
Llyn Brenig Reservoir and Visitor Centre (8 Miles)*
Llyn Brenig Reservoir and Visitor Centre is set in 920 acres of moorland and forest in the heart of the Denbigh Moors, just 35 miles from Wrexham and 38 miles from Bangor.
Llangollen Motor Museum (14 Miles)*
See the cars that Grandad used to drive.
Valle Crucis Abbey (14 Miles)*
The evocative ruins of Valle Crucis lie in green fields beneath Llangollen's steep-sided mountains. In medieval times, this was a remote spot (ideal for the austere Cistercian monks, who deliberately sought out wild and lonely places).
Llangollen Railway (15 Miles)*
Part of the Ruabon to Barmouth line, the Railway closed to passenger traffic in 1965, and to goods in 1968. The track and signalling were removed the following month, and for seven years the buildings and trackbed were left at the mercy of nature.
Denbigh Castle (17 Miles)*
The striking ruins of Denbigh Castle, crowning a steep hill above the town, enjoy commanding views of the pastoral Vale of Clwyd and the round backed hills of the Clwydian Range.
Dolwyddelan Castle (17 Miles)*
In a land of castles, Dolwyddelan stands apart not as a stronghold erected by Norman or English forces but as a fortress of the native Welsh princes.
Chirk Castle (18 Miles)*
Few places welcome visitors with a "bloody" hand, but the Myddelton family coat-of-arms above the elaborate gates does indeed incorporate just such a symbol.
Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway (21 Miles)*
The railway was opened in 1903 to link the rural communities to the market town of Welshpool. The gauge of 2 ft 6 inches allowed for tight curves and steep gradients following the contours of the countryside.
Erddig Hall, Gardens & Country Park (22 Miles)*
Erddig is a very special place. It is a unique family home that has captured the way of life of a bustling household community during the early years of this century.
