Council gets ready for influx of bank holiday visitors

Preparations have been made by the county council and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB for an increase in visitors to Horseshoe Falls, Llangollen (pictured above), Moel Famau and Loggerheads Country Park this bank holiday weekend

They say people should check ahead to see if facilities are open and where possible access quieter sites and walks as this will help avoid busy periods and parking issues. 

It is also vital that people respect the countryside and act responsibly, this means not littering, parking sensibly and only to ride bikes on routes where cycling is permitted. 

The council has introduced a series of measures at Moel Famau and Horseshoe Falls to reduce congestion in the area. 

Drivers are also asked to park responsible or risk a fixed penalty fine as parking enforcement officers will patrol during the bank holiday. 

At Horseshoe Falls, visitors coming in on a Saturday can park in Llangollen and use the Dee Valley Picturesque Bus service - https://www.clwydianrangeanddeevalleyaonb.org.uk/projects/the-picturesque-bus/ 

Visitors can use Llangollen Railway to disembark at Berwyn Station to visit the falls from either Llangollen or Corwen. 

If the weather is dry over the weekend people ae urged not to have BBQs, camping stoves or campfires on the moorland areas of the AONB because of the significant risk of fire. 

Dog owners are also asked to act responsibly and keep their pets on leads when walking through the countryside around livestock especially as lambing season continues.
