Llangollen, North Wales - where Wales welcomes the World

Llangollen Local History With around 3,000 years worth of history, it would be impossible to cover all aspects in just one page so, to highlight the fascinating aspects of the towns development, we are splitting this section into time-zones. To start us off we're beginning with the immense Arthurian traditions linked to Llangollen and the immediate surrounding area, followed by something a little nearer to home with the Victorians. If you would like to contribute stories/information to this section of the web site please contact us.

'In the Vale are seated the venerable remains of Llan Egwest or Valle Crucis Abbey; and from the road, at a little distance, the fine Gothic west end, embowered in trees, and backed up the mountain, on whence summit stands the shattered ruins of Castell Dinas Bran, form a a scene finely picturesque.' - Rev. W. Bingley, A Tour Round North Wales, 1798

Book mark this site now as a super Myths & Legends area will be the next area to appear in the very near future
