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.
