Stunning place! Thanks, so much, for sharing it with us and explaining some of the history. Lucky ladies, you are! Best wishes from Indiana, USA

Thank you so much. I had never considered going to Llangollen as part of the holiday circuit, but now I definitely will. I am glad you both enjoyed the visit too.

I enjoy my Sunday morning mini holidays with you two... Keep up the great work...life as it should be ....living your life with who you love no matter what century you are in....just think about all the guest you two have entertained...you are such a rage in this century!

Guess I should add Wales to my Bucket List, thank you ladies!

Ladies, THANK YOU for your THRU THE HEDGE videos. too many canal vloggers stick to the canals themselves too rigidly and forget about the sights and history of this wonderful UK countryside within easy distances of the canals. You certainly do a great job of your canal tripping, but personally I prize these THRU THE HEDGE videos even more because they seem to be more of the exception instead of the rule. Heck, many times you don't even need to go THRU any hedge just to see (and pause to focus on) some of the wonderful buildings right on the canal side. MORE!!!

Llangollen looks quaint AF

Hi Ladies, it was great to meet you both the other day. I stopped to say hello as me and my wife were walking along the towpath in Llangollen. You were busy painting the boat at the time. I always enjoy following your adventures and it makes it even more special now that I've met you x.

That view from the ruin of the burnt castle is amazing !!! Just breathtaking 😍👍👍And that vintage carriage ? tea house is fun ! 💜🥁🎵🐉🎶💞

Well, I enjoyed this vlog so much! I loved this vintage wagon tea room. As always, you both did an amazing job.Cheers.

I really wish I could like your videos more than once. You ladies found some truly beautiful footage for this one. I absolutely loved it.

Loved the video. The views from the castle were spellbinding.

We’ve been on narrowboat holidays to Llangollen a couple of times but not been to these 3 places - so when we go to Llangollen this year on our very own boat we will visit your top 3 xx

i so want to go there wow beautiful very good filming thank you from cold cold quebec canada

Don't know if you got it right but you are DEFINATELY making me want to experience the Llangollen canal in a narrowboat !And well done getting up to that castle!

WOW, what a wonderful tour of Llangollen. Thank you Ladies.

Wonderful vid again! It may seem like winter to you there but from western Canada and it's -40C, I would prefer your Christmas. I've been following for some time and would like to thank you for the cheerful and down to earth videos. They brighten the day!

Facinating how much work went into making the castle and burning down in 1277 some of the walls are still standing.

Thank you girls, that was wonderful. I'm adding the castle and surrounding area to my bucket list. Maybe I could buy the two of you dinner at the railroad station. That would be my delight.

Really interesting..you are the ladies of Llanollen now...I do enjoy these side trips the climb to the castle was well worth it and the tea room was delightful.....great vlog as always

Hanks for bringing back great memories from 60 years ago

That was completely lovely. The views from the castle were stunning. It would take me triple that time at least to get up there so I think you did very well! Thank you for sharing Llangollen with us. You’re both so lovely x

Exceptional choices .wonderful views .. historical and entertaining, thank you ...

This was one of your very best! I've watched this three times! I'm a pushover for things historic and this really fits the bill. Please keep up the Through The Hedge Series. You are doing a great service for those of us who live outside of the British Isles and won't be getting there any time soon! Thank You so much.

It's not about how long it takes, it is, as you so ably demonstrate, about enjoying the walk !! :) and of course what's not to love about any heritage railway tea room :)

Beautiful hike to the castle.

The tea room looked so cute! Thank you for showing us more stunning scenery xx

Great video as it shows that the town isn’t just a summer destination.

Most enjoyable video, glad you mentioned the Railway. I wasn’t previously aware of the castle, looks well worth the climb up to it. Cheers. Alan

Oh dear. What a lot of work and rocks to build the castle that lasted just 17 years. What stunning views.

Wow! Tooooo cooooool! Great views and a special thank you for visiting the railroad. Missed seeing the steam engine.👍😊🙏🏼🚂🚂🚂

That's a must visit for me this year girls, maybe moor around that area for winter a stunning place.

Don't forget to collect a spoon or two while you're in town. Lots of variations on lovers spoons to choose from.

Your videos are getting better! Such a great job you two are doing. Hugs to both of you.

There's spots there you'd have to watch your step going through the hedge lest you finf your self right down the creek having a paddle. You certainly looked to be enjoying the lack of heatstroke . . .

arvellous litte doco that really brought back memories. Over 60 years ago, we went on family hplidays to Llangollan A climb to the castle was a must, the railway was still operating with steam trains from Wrexham, aw water driven grain mill was still operating on the town side of the bridge over the river (now a gift shop) and there was a weekly cattle market. The horse drawn boat to the falls was opwrating even then. Well, you did it, you finally made me cry..

Dinas Bran is a fantastic spot, we visited on our second canal boat trip up the Llangollen , the views are stunning on a good day.

Wonderful. So looking forward to cruising up to Llangollen in May.

I was tired halfway to the castle and had to stop the video and take a nap. I finished in just under three hours.

Thanks for sharing those beautiful places with us!

Well now I know what the view from the castle looks like. I was there on a hire boat holiday with my late wife about 20 years ago and had the pleasure of making it all the way to the headwaters of the Llangollen canal. As it was peak summer season we were lucky enough to find a spot to moor for a couple of hours. It was vacated by a lovely family from Formby that we later bumped into in Whitchurch. While in LLangollen we did get to Horseshoe Falls and into town but there was no time for the hike up to the castle. Living in Canada I have lovely people like yourselves to remind me of what a charming place the UK is to visit. Thank you.

Did you get it right? Well, you got railways, that's close enough to right for me! And you got canals, rivers, architecture, history, castles, food, writers, landscapes (cats were covered in the opening title sequence); only other interests of mine which weren't in there were kites, UFOs, and space rockets. Dang I'd like if my health and income allowed visiting other countries, especially the UK, so much there I'd like to see. My health is such a mess now with several neurological, endocrine, mitochondrial, and musculoskeletal, things happening (on top of autism) that I'm no longer good for driving even the 50 mile round trip from our midwestern county seat farm burg to the closest city. Hence I _deeply_ appreciate KZfaq being there to offer the opportunity, and your taking advantage of it to produce these videos. All of y'all narrowboaters who I watch, it would be nice if I could show up in person to look y'all in the eyes and say thank you for taking the time and hassle, and expense, to produce these videos, that and all y'all are appreciated.

Ha, one hour and six minutes! at least you got there to see that view, I reckon that tea room carriage was better than a train ride, there are plenty of them and nothing beats warm clotted cream after all :-) Happy journeys girls!

That was awesome ! I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing .

Oh once again sunday school - where we like to stay.

Lovely video, beautiful location, and thank you for your kind comments on mobility difficulties, nice to be remembered. At least I got chance to see it through your video.

second time I have watched this vlog, still as good as the first.

Great, loved being up at the castell - will have to haul myself up there one of these days

Thank you both, really enjoyed this vlog, you certainly packed a lot into your visit.🥂

Love the side trip, thank you ladies.

like the video an love Llangollen been there many times over the years camp at the Abby

Good video blog Ladies! Actually there are more than 3 TOP places around Llangollen. Some people think 'I've never heard of a place such as Valle Crucis Abbey before, I wonder if that's a tourist attraction near Llangollen?'' and although it's a slight distance away from the town itself, just walk north of the canal feeder and you will then see the abbey just off the main road on your right! Entry to the abbey is £14 or £15 per adult if I get it right.

Lovely vlog as usual girls and I wouldn’t mind a piece of cake and a cuppa in that tearoom myself x

love the history there

Stunning view from castle

That was just lovely and most informative - Thank you! And much love from Mexico ... plus 4 kitties. xo

A terrific travelogue, thank you! Have plans to travel there sometime soon, and try the walnut cake. Cheers!

I love the vlogs that you 2 wonderful ladies do. I only came across you a couple of months ago (as you do on KZfaq) and started following you a bit. Then I subscribed to your channel (the 1st and only I've ever done) you had me at cats!! My wife and me have always had rescue cats! (3 at the moment) We live on the Wirral, so all your vlogs from Shropshire up, are places we know well! We are also bikers, so would like to mention the Ponderosa Cafe, not far from Llangollen (but would need transport) During the summer it's packed with bikers and families alike at the weekends!

That's quite a travelogue you've put up this week! Well done!

Enjoy your journey back down the canal. In my experience that narrow section is a bit like a trip on a log flume especially when it's been raining and the current is a little quick!!

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Ladies! Brava!! This was such a pleasure to watch. I loved the narration too. Cheers to more videos like this!!!

As you asked and if he is still trading a place called Glass Blob-be-al (think that how you spell it) is worth a look in an old school building on the Llangollen road. Makes all sort of stuff by blobbing glass together and uses gold, silver, iron and all sorts of metals and alot of other stuff for the colouring, and sits there for you to watch when he is doing it, Very clever guy. Take him a picture and he will copy your boat in glass. Arthur.

Lovely area - hope to someday make over there. Nothing that old around here in the US. Take care - be safe. 'Spin'

Well done Ladies. A fantastic Vlog. You held my interest from start to finish. I was sorry to see it end. WELL DONE. I'd give you 1000 likes if I could.

I had 12 years of wet summer holidays around there. Beautiful but wet.

Great video as usual ladies. 👍 If you keep making such great vids/travelogues you'll end up with your own TV show before you know it, The UK Canals with Two Ladies and Two Cats or you could call it The Alice and Munchy show. 😀 As mentioned below by ​David Wall this is 2019 and this video was even posted on Mar 3, 2019 and yet here you are sitting down to eat an apple in 2018. I guess that makes you a time traveler. lol

Great blog of one of our favourite places to visit. We usually stay in our fun shed out at Abbey nurseries. We regularly visit the railway, we can recommend the Jazz train When they run it. On your recommendation we have 2 more p!aces to visit on our next visit. We were in Llangollen when you filmed this 👍

Oh great. A few more things to add to my list when I get there this July. That's if i have any energy left after kayaking there. Cheers Andy from Sydney.

Loved it Ladies, well done 😻

Always look forward to a relaxing end to Sunday and this vlog was no exception. Back to canals, I came across a video on the channel by Martin Zero titled "the secret trap door under the canal" , absolutely fascinating.... Hope you enjoy it too. Thanks again for the video. Cheers.

Thanks for sharing those wonderful attractions with us!

There’s a great cafe at the top of the horseshoe pass

That must've been one helluva fire to destroy a stone castle to that degree. I am assuming a lot of it has to do with weathering and stone removal, but still, an impressive fire. When I visit ruins like that, not that there's a lot in my part of the world, I often wonder about the lives of the ordinary people who lived there. We hear all about the 'great and powerful' but not s much about those who made it possible for the 'great and powerful' to sustain their lifestyle. Lovely video, great top three. :)

great vlog girls love the Rail and Ale poster that's defo my cup of tea:)

Thank you ladies. James and I well put it on our list of places to see.

Who doesn't love a castle and cake? I'm with you Kath, love a good sign to read. 😁

Hi. Just subscribed. We live in Llangollen, a stunning town with fantastic people. Our house is next to the Castle, you must have walked past !! Good luck on your future adventures. ;-)

Hello ladies, another good viv, some beautiful country . That look like a long climb to the ruins, it would of took me longer than 30 min too.

Always lovely..thanks

Another great video thanks ladies I bet it’s really busy in summer 🙀

Looks a great walk, great place for photographers.

Another great Through the Hedge vlog. The kayaker at your sign off must be impervious to hypothermia!

Old subscriber new channel. Love viewing the British Isles the your eyes. You are always improving on an already magnificent channel. Keep up the awesome work.

Absolutely brilliant, my dears! 😊 👍, really enjoyed the vlog!👌 Would be incredible if you could post more info on 'The Ladies of Llangollen' , for us on 8.3. 'World Women's Day' (now actually from 2019 a 'bank holiday' here in Germany!)😊 All love, and best wishes, Claire, Berlin 😘 😘 😘 ✌ 👍 👍 👍

Great video! I would add Valle Crucis Abbey to the list, but it is a couple miles out of town. 😊

Morning Vixens, Deffo covered the top 3, there are more places to see to be fair, but you'd need transport, other than your feet. As most visitors are 48 hr, from the canal, you're pressed a little, as you've also got to get in all the various eating and drinking establishments. Loved all your vids on the Llangollen canal, beautifully done. Are you on the move now? I am as of Thurs this week, you have been warned!!! Keep warm,keep smiling, keep vlogging xx.

Thank you for a most informative vlog. We plan to visit once we become CCers in a couple of years time and shall certainly check these out. Even at this time of year it looks lovely.

Thanks girls

Lovely video. Thank you for sharing, especially Castell Dinas Bran. I'll never get there myself, for the two reasons that I have never been in Great Britain and likely never will be, and because I am as old as both of you combined and unable to climb hills like that one. However, the Ale and Rail might be more my speed as a train lover, should I ever venture that far afield.

Ive seen on another youtube channel that questions are asked in order for the comments section to build up, so here goes

So interesting thanks Ladies Xx

The castle was built when Bow and arrows where the main attack weapon then along came gunpowder and the the castle became too draughty to live in.

Great video thanks for sharing 🤗👍🏻

Nice Job Ladies

Lovely! That was one hardy kayaker.

Nice

OK, you're 3 are good, but I would add....James Bailey's Oggie shop :) You have to love an Oggie :) Also, Porters Meat & Cheese shop (also do nice Gin :) ). Can you tell I like my food and drink :)

That was lovely and one of my favourites. Are you heading to Crick for the boat show this year? The good news is a photographer took some decent photographs of the dogs today so hopefully I will get my water colour. I did try to get a photo but the naughty dogs keep jumping at me and the pictures are terrible. Thankfully a young girl (12) and keen photographer came to take some pictures of the dogs at the beach today. She said she has some great ones so I have my fingers crossed they’re good enough for Anna Marie to do a great water colour. Thanks for a fantastic video.

Hi girls another great video, full of history and beautiful scenery you have put this area of Wales on the map for people to discover for themselves - well done. Oh and by the way which of you was in the canoe coming down the rapids at the end?? All the very best 💁💁🐈🐈💖

Good video girls , enjoyed the tour ,ATB Paul
