Well worth a visit and thanks to Friends of Friendless Churches in keeping this open. Interesting 15th century cross in churchyard and superb rood and stained glass windows inside. Worth combining with a visit to Aberclwyd Manor on a Wednesday

Covid-19 Update ~ Plas Newydd Tearooms will be open 10AM - 4PM daily. The Gardens and Grounds are open daily and free to explore! Plas Newydd Historic House will unfortunately be closed until further notice. Home of the ‘Ladies of Llangollen’ Miss Sarah Ponsonby and Lady Eleanor Butler captured the imagination of Regency society when they ran away and set up home together in Wales. Visit their extraordinary gothicised home and hear of the stream of famous visitors they received. Learn how they won the hearts of local people and turned a simple cottage into a fantasy of oak carvings and stained glass. Stroll through the gardens they developed and try homemade cakes in the tea rooms.

Gorgeous! Im not entirely sure what else i can say because its perfect. You stand on a bridge and see so many things, fast flowing river, canoeing, steam trains, huge hills and much much more. It is a must see!!!
6. Rug Chapel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 66 reviews
The chapel’s plain exterior gives little hint of the riches within Religiously glorious in glorious technicolour. Never judge a chapel, or a church for that matter, by its exterior. Step inside 17th-century Rug Chapel and prepare to be wowed by its decorative flourishes. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

Having a mainly local day to where we were staying Wales we headed into the quaint town of Ruthin, we parked closed to the attraction (£3 all day parking, bargain). We were greeted by two lovely staff who explained about the Goal/Jail, the kids got a quiz, which meant that us adults could wander round with the very informative audio guide, lots of activities and hands on experience, we were not pressed for time and we enjoyed all the aspects of the jail (upstairs you are limited to how far you can go as the building is used as local council archives) though the glassed divider still gives you a great idea of how it would have been, the children 7 and 10 enjoyed the experience of the jail and would happily go back and visit again. A great attraction and reasonable priced entry fee.

9. Denbigh Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 216 reviews
Denbigh’s finest feature is its striking triple-towered great gatehouse. Want to get a historian really excited? Mention Denbigh’s triple-towered great gatehouse. Probably one of the seven wonders of Wales. We think you’ll agree. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

The castle sits proudly at the top of the town and is easily accessible on foot. Book your tickets in advance, only £2 a person. Friendly staff at the entrance and covid secure protocols are in place. Lovely to walk around with information boards to explain different parts of the castle and stunning views of the local area. There is also a little cafe/gift shop. Well worth it!
