More Information:

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Llangollen, there are a few things you need to know...

The route isn’t friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to narrow and sometimes non-existent pavements, as well as some uneven terrain.

There may be some clues set in dog-restricted areas, so please only bring your four-legged friends along if a member of your squad is able to wait with them when needed.

The closest long-stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Mill Street (LL20 8SD), where your investigation begins.

There are some fantastic events in Llangollen`s calendar, all of which are fantastic times to visit this beautiful city. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact Llangollen Tourist Information.

There are public toilets available towards Clue 10, and the route passes plenty of refreshment stops along the way and the perfect picnic spot at Clue 14.
