It's not every day you get to see castle ruins that were once the welsh equivalent of 'Winterfell' from Game of Thrones - that's exactly what you'll find if you make the trek to Dinas Bran, or 'Crows Castle' as it's more commonly known. This can be a bit of a hike, but on a sunny day it's a hugely enjoyable walk with some stunning views of Llangollen beneath you - and let's be honest, no Thrones fan is going to be able to resist roaring 'winter is coming' at the top of their lungs when they reach the ruins!
It's time for a hen party in Llangollen!
Set in the picturesque Dee valley, Llangollen is a hen do destination that lets you experience all the best of the stunning Welsh countryside on your weekend away with the girls. The activities are high octane and exciting, and take full advantage of the rural setting, but if tumbling over rivers and rapids isn't your cup of tea then the beautiful tranquil countryside surely is. A generous handful of cosy local pubs top off the town, providing the perfect escape for groups wanting to get free of the city and get back to nature.
