Company to run open-top bus tours from Llan

* An open-top London Routemaster bus.

A company is planning to run two new vintage bus sightseeing tours in Llangollen over the Easter weekend.

The first tour by Routemaster 4 Hire based in Llay will be to the summit of The Horseshoe Pass where passengers will see stunning views of the Clwydian Range as the bus climbs 1,368 feet along the A542 to the Ponderosa Cafe - the highest point of the pass.

The drive out of Llangollen will reveal spectacular views towards the Llantysilio Mountain range and Marilyn Cyrn-y-Brain.

There will be a stop at the Ponderosa Cafe giving everyone enough time to take in the views and enjoy some refreshments before the journey back down to Llangollen, says the company.

The Horseshoe Pass tours will depart Parade Street in Llangollen daily at 11.45am and 2.45pm.

The second tour will see a scenic drive from Llangollen to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct which carries the Llangollen Canal 126ft over the River Dee.

The aqueduct tour will depart Parade Street in Llangollen daily at 10.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm.

Ticket prices for each tour are:

Adult £7                                

Children (5-15yrs) £7

Under 5's Free

Seniors (60+)  £5           

Family (2 Adults, 2 Children) £25

All day ticket (per person) £12

You can pre-book tickets by calling the company during office hours on 01978 799909,  or online at viatour.com

A limited number of tickets will also be available on the day, so you can just turn up and hop-on.

Tours will be running every day over the Easter Weekend from April 19-22.

More running dates will be announced soon, says the company.
