Horseshoe Falls Llangollen
Enjoy a stroll along the River Dee to these lovely falls on this short walk in Denbighshire.

You can park at the car park by the river and then follow a nice surfaced footpath to the falls. It's a short waterside walk along the river and canal, running for about half a mile. There's also the option of following the canal and riverside path from Llangollen to Horseshoe Falls. It's about a 2 mile walk from the town centre or train station.
