(and nearby)

Llangollen Motor Museum (4 Miles)*
See the cars that Grandad used to drive.
Valle Crucis Abbey (4 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 (4 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.
Rug Chapel and Llangar Church (5 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.
Chirk Castle (8 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.
Erddig Hall, Gardens & Country Park (11 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.
Llyn Brenig Reservoir and Visitor Centre (13 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.

Greenacres Animal Park (18 Miles)*
Set in 80 acres of Welsh Borderland, the Animal Park creates a friendly, relaxing atmosphere for the whole family
Cheshire Military Museum (21 Miles)*

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.
Chester Cathedral (21 Miles)*
The Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary at Chester is a living symbol of continuous progress combined with constancy of purpose.
Powis Castle and Garden (22 Miles)*
It is hard to believe that the oldest parts of Powis Castle were begun around 800 years ago and some of the oaks were planted at a similar time. The castle was built by the Welsh Princes.

Cholmondeley Castle Garden is said by many to be among the most romantically beautiful gardens they have ever seen.

Glansevern Hall (24 Miles)*
Over 25 acres of glorious gardens surrounding a Greek revival house of great elegance on the banks of the River Severn.

Blue Planet Aquarium (25 Miles)*
There's a world of underwater adventure just waiting to be discovered at the Blue Planet Aquarium.

Beeston Castle (26 Miles)*
Sitting on a sandstone escarpment 500 feet above the Cheshire Plain, Beeston Castle has stunning views as far as the Welsh Mountains and the Pennines on a clear day.
Dolwyddelan Castle (26 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.
Boat Museum (27 Miles)*
