Now it's the Pavilion in the frame for national TV stardom

Another of Llangollen's landmark attractions was filmed for a future edition of the BBC daytime TV property programme, Escape to the Country, this morning (Thursday).

Yesterday a film crew were at Llangollen Station shooting sequences for the same show, which features potential buyers searching for their dream homes in rural areas of the UK who are taken to look around three or four properties for sale, including a "mystery house," in their chosen region. 

In this case the home-seekers were Glyn and Christina who were looking to move from their home in the Wiltshire town of Chippenham to somewhere in this area, where they have friends and often visit.

Today, the couple - plus presenter Alistair Appleton - were at Llangollen Pavilion where they were given the low-down on living in this area by Eisteddfod volunteer and former Llangollen deputy mayor, Issy Richards.

Over the few days the couple have been taken to see a variety of homes with a 30-mile radius of Llangollen.

The programme is likely to be shown in about 10 or 12 months' time, according to the production company, Naked.
