Where Wales begins and the gentle Marcher countryside around Wrexham transforms gradually into the dramatic valley and mountain setting for the lively town of Llangollen.

Explore the sandy beaches at Talacre and the secret Ceiriog Valley, visit castles (Chirk Castles), galleries (Ruthin Craft Centre), churches (St Asaph Cathedral) and historic houses (Plas Newydd and Erddig).
Fill your days with a range of outdoor activities – walking, hang gliding, canoeing and golf.

Whatever a holiday break means to you, you’ll find it in the Borderlands – and it’s an ideal base for exploring North Wales and historic Chester.
