On the 25th we regretfully headed away from the spectacular welsh coastline and drove inland towards Llangollen. The route took us along the A542, over the Horseshoe Pass. the pass peaks at 416 metres with some wonderful views of the countryside. The route is very popular with motorcyclists, most of whom seem to take a break at the Ponderosa Cafe near the peak.

Our campsite in Llangollen, Penddol Farm Caravan Park, is a small site accessed via tiny humpback bridge over the canal. It is situated next to the huge Llangollen Pavilion where preparations were being made for the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod which was starting a week after our stay.
