  • This week is all about Llangollen. We moored our Narrowboat floating home in the Llangollen Basin on the Llangollen Canal and we go exploring. Llangollen is absolutely beautiful, full of history, including the horse-drawn boats and the Horseshoe Falls. We walk to the end of the Llangollen canal to the Meter House that controls the flow and levels of the canal. We show the River Dee that runs through the centre of the town and go to the dramatic Horseshoe Falls!
    Hope you enjoy! xx
    Join us on Facebook too, we’d love to see you there! 😃

    Watching the horse on the tow path pull the narrowboat along the canal really gives an accurate depiction of life in those days.

    My wife and I watch a lot of canal boat vlogs. We confess that is the 1st of your vlogs we have seen because it was up there with Captain Gary and Will. We are British and live in New Zealand. The episode blew us away with your stunning views. We have been to Llangollen but missed most of what you showed us. Brilliant and thank you. Just subscribed and want to see more. Thanks

    Such a fantastic video your photography is amazing. I just love your drone shots. You capture so much. I feel like I’m there on the boat with you instead of being stuck in a bed recovering but thank you so very much for sharing your life. I wish we could do that at our age, butthe bodies just not willing

    Over the festive season I have watched a number of narrowboater's vlogs about visiting Llangollen and each one including yours has been a fresh new look at the town, the canal and the stunning scenery. Thank you for your enchanting vlog. It was a most enjoyable experience to share your visit with you and I look forward to following you to many new places. Happy New Year from northern Thailand.

      Thank you so much xx I would say it’s about 3.5 - 4 miles round trip to the falls and back, might be a bit far for Hamish bless him xx 😘
