This morning Jo and I set off to walk to Horseshoe Falls and Llantysilio Parish Church. During our return walk we stopped at the Chainbridge Hotel for a cup of tea whilst waiting for the DMU to arrive at Berwyn station. We walked up to Berwyn station and sat on a bench on the platform and had our packed lunch. We continued our return walk to find the motor museum was closed 😢.
We had a cup of coffee at Llangollen station whilst I made enquiries about booking a trip on the steam train on Saturday (all booked online). A round trip of just over 6 miles 🚶🚶♀️.
Be warned there are a lot of photos. ⚠️

The water meter at the head of the canal feeder, the meter regulates the amount of water taken from the River Dee and onto the feeder
The upstream side of the meter, where the water from the River Dee flows into the meter

These youngsters were getting their 1st taste of canoeing in the river
The DMU entering Berwyn station as seen from Chainbridge Hotel, I should have used my camera rather than trying to take a video with my phone, and messed it up!

The path from the chainbridge up to Berwyn station passes under the railway line at the bridge, unfortunately the sun was in the wrong place
This photo wasn't any better

Berwyn station, I know it is, it says so on the sign

We had our packed lunch sitting on a bench on the platform
Our lunchtime view
On our return journey we wondered if we could get down to the rocks here
We found these steep steps down, the 2nd set were even steeper and we had to go down them backwards
But it was worth it for
The falls upstream
And downstream

The Motor Museum was closed today
But we did see the horse-drawn trip boat
