Great private viewing as you have to collect the key from the library to get into the walls. Only small but some wonderful views over the mountains and valley. Was the only one up there in February!

Driving west from Llangollen, stopped off to admire the Chain Bridge, strung across the river to the west of Llangollen. Stunning metal Chain-Link Bridge over the River for foot passage. Well worth taking a detour to.

The most striking part of the building is the fifteenth century carved oak hammer beam roof which is thought to have links with the monks at Valle Crucis Abbey. To think that this is what North Wales got while Michelangelo was working in Rome is quite incredible! It is believed to be the finest roof in Wales. There are fascinating depictions of beasts, flora and fauna and even an amusing story of 'the man who drank too much beer.' The oldest part of the church is the twelfth century vestry door (north side) which still has peepholes dating back to when those fleeing from the law would appear on the doorstep of the church and formally request sanctuary. The Ladies of Llangollen, Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, famous for their romantic friendship, are buried in the churchyard and have a memorial plaque in the south aisle of the church. Gruffudd Hiraethog was one of the foremost poets of the sixteenth century. He compiled a Welsh dictionary with quotations from the works of the bards to illustrate their meanings. He was born in Llangollen and is also buried in the vault along with patron saint of the church and town, St Collen.
