After a scenic drive through the Welsh countryside, we arrived at the picturesque town of Llangollen on the River Dee.
It is reknowned for its' International Eisteddfod festival in the first week of July. This is an annual contest which draws musicians, singers and dancers from around the world.
A celtic cross stands in the middle of town , commemorated the men of LLangollen who fought in the first world war.
This sign shows the official name of the town. Ysiopfachgardiauwrthybontdrosyrafonddyfrdwyynllangollen. It is quite a mouthful.It is recorded in the Guiness Book of Records as the longest name of a town in the world.
