National Cycle Route 85

9 miles (14.6 km)

This route follows Sustrans National Cyle Route 85 from Trevor to Llantysilio along the Llangollen Canal.
On the way you will pass the impressive Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, the River Dee, the Horseshoe Falls and the town of Llangollen. It's nearly all traffic free so a nice safe route for families.
The complete route will eventually run from Chester to Wrexham, Llangollen, Corwen, Bala and Dolgallau where it will link up with the popular Mawddach Trail.
