Capturing the Vale of Llangollen, Gallery

Llangollen is situated on the River Dee, in Denbighshire, Wales. Its riverside location is in an  Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty making this a beautiful place to live and photograph. The town neighboring Berwyn and Clwydian mountain Range provide many walks with fabulous views of Llangollen and surrounding landscape. Llangollen takes its name from the Welsh llan meaning "a religious settlement" and Saint Collen, a 7th-century monk who founded a church beside the river. Above the town to the north is Castell Dinas Brân, a stronghold of the Princes of Powys, and beyond the castle is the impressive Lower Carboniferous limestone escarpment known as the Eglwyseg Rocks. This outcrop continues north to World's End.
