Talwrn Glas
Sightseeing
Picturesque town situated on the River Dee with shops and restaurants. The town has a lovely play area by the river. Plas Newydd House and Gardens is worth a visit with a fascinating history. A walk up Dinas Bran Castle will give you fabulous views over the town. The town is also on the canal tow path for a flatter walk. The town hosts the international Eisteddfod in the first week of July. The drive to the town is over the scenic horseshoe pass.

A great day out to a Castle with an interesting history. Lovely grounds and has a good show of snowdrops in the spring. They often have re-enacting knights.
