Welcome
Llangollen Wharf is one of the major attractions in the North Wales market town of Llangollen. From the Wharf you can embark on either a horse drawn boat trip along the feeder for the main canal, or a motorised aqueduct cruise which takes you across the famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct built by Thomas Telford. Both these trips take in the magical sights and sounds of the beautiful Llangollen Canal. Longer horse drawn trips can be arranged for large groups. At the Wharf you can browse in our gift shop or enjoy a leisurely cup of tea or coffee and home made cake in our tea room, with views over the canal and town. Lunches and cream teas can be pre-ordered for the aqueduct trips.
Special Events
We have a large range of special events - Horse Drawn Boat Trips operate on a daily basis through out the summer holidays. Horse Shoeing, come and see our lovely horses being shod. Mulled Wine Specials - A 2 hour Trip through the beautiful Vale of Llangollen.

Canal Exhibition
A moving story in pictures and words of how canals were built and operated in their heyday.
The decline of canals during the age of the steam railway is documented, together with the more recent revival of canals for leisure and tourism purposes.
