The popular Dee Valley Picturesque bus service will be running again this year, providing access to some of the key destinations in this beautiful and historic landscape.
The Dee Valley Picturesque Bus service is a
circular route which links Llangollen and the surrounding villages to popular
local attractions including Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Wenffrwd Nature Reserve,
Horseshoe Falls, Valle Crucis Abbey, Plas Newydd Historic House and the
Horseshoe Pass.
The hop on/hop off service will enable passengers
to visit these key locations without the need of a car, making it easier for
those without their own vehicle to access these places and helping to reduce
congestion at some of the busiest sites in the Dee Valley.
The service has been made possible thanks to
funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund in Wales, and delivered in
partnership by Denbighshire County Council and the Our Picturesque Landscape
project, a landscape partnership scheme which is working to conserve and improve
access to the inspiring landscapes of the Dee Valley and Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
and Canal World Heritage Site.
The all day 1Bws ticket provides great value for
those wanting to take a sightseeing tour of the area, and this year the service
will also offer tap on/tap off payments for shorter single trips, making it the
ideal option for discovering some the area’s linear walks.
The Dee Valley Picturesque Bus Service 199 will
operate Saturdays only from Saturday 30th March – Saturday 30th
August 2024. For the full timetable and ticket prices please visit the Clwydian
Range and Dee Valley AONB website, Denbighshire bus timetable webpage, or pick
up a leaflet from Llangollen Tourist Information Centre.

Hannah Marubbi, Partnership Officer for the Our Picturesque Landscape project, said: “We are delighted to bring back the Dee Valley Picturesque Bus Service for a fourth year. The service saw record numbers of users last year and we hope that this season it will provide even more visitors and local residents with the opportunity to explore the wider area.”
Cllr Win-Mullen James, Lead Member for Local Development and Planning, said: “The Dee Valley Picturesque Bus offers the perfect chance to explore the Dee Valley in comfort without the stress of having to plan to park at these fantastic locations around Llangollen.”
