A Guide To Your Llangollen Hen Weekend

Where to Drink in Llangollen

Shhhh. Hear that sound? That's the sound of beer sploshing into a nicely cooled pint glass after you've had an adrenaline-fuelled day around the beautiful surrounding of Llangollen. Sounds pretty good, right?! Well, that could be your reality at one of the many, many pubs around the picturesque town.
Down by the River Dee is a great place to start if you're planning to make a night of it (pub crawl, anyone?). A refreshing G&T or sparkling cider - oooooh yeah! Bridge Street is also brimming with traditional taverns, so whatever your tipple, you're covered in this quaint hen-gem. Basically, wherever you are, you'll always be close to a pub. You might just want to move there forever!

Sights & Sounds

Sights
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!

Sounds
Llangollen's bubbly young professionals all enjoy kicking back and relaxing in The Sun. This pub features live music most nights, and we're tempted to say that this fun venue is Llangollen's best kept secret. Evenings here always seem to carry on until late, and this spirited pub is always full of laughter once the music's started - plus men from the countryside can be seriously dishy, just look at Matt Baker...

This style is seriously cool, and best of all, it's astoundingly cheap. It's time to jump aboard the second-hand hype train hens!
