What the town of Llangollen lacks in size, it certainly makes up for in enthusiasm. Once a centre for sheep farming and weaving, nature and wildlife still play a big part in this small Welsh town’s heritage. Llangollen’s solitary setting means it has retained much of its early magic, which is why it is now a popular spot for nature and history lovers alike.
