The Berwyn Mountains
You may never have heard of the Berwyn Mountains, but that’s one of its great merits.

Tower Hill Barns is nestled in the scenic and outstandingly beautiful Vale of Llangollen. This broad rift valley is set around the winding River Dee and includes very many natural features and historical treasures, making the area a really special location for visitors and locals alike.

Castell Dinas Bran
Just a short drive away from Tower Hill Barns is a 13th century castle with amazing panoramic views.
