My favourite restaurants
The Cornmill has amazing food and fantastic views across the river Dee. In warmer weather the large outdoor deck is a must. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I would definitely recommend booking ahead, it’s very popular!

Castell Dinas Bran
Quite a hike but worth it for the amazing views!
Beautiful grounds, well worth a visit. The castle is totally intact and furnished, you can definitely while away a few hours inside if the weather is not so good

City/town information
Llangollen is a very special place. It has lots of shops, restaurants and a steam railway. The river Dee runs through the middle of it. There’s always something going on , from The Fringe( musicians and comedians) to the world famous Eisteddfod which is held every July. You can take a horse drawn boat trip along the canal . I love to grab a coffee at Fouzis right on the bridge and people watch.

My favourite shopping
Oswestry is a lovely little market town. There are plenty of little independent shops and places to eat. The high street also has a Boots and Marks and Spencer’s food hall . There’s a little gallery , The Willow which also has an excellent cafe.

Chester is a lively bustling city. It is full of history, independent shops and all the big names. I go to Chester when I need to dome some serious shopping ! I love to sit at a cafe and people watch and enjoy the many buskers , I saw Harry Styles here before he was famous! Chester is about a 30 minute drive or you can go by train from Chirk.
