Discover the 7 Wonders of Wales

Pistyll Rhaeadr Falls

Pistyll Rhaeadr is not only the tallest waterfall in the United Kingdom, but it is also significantly taller than the famous Niagara Falls on the US-Canada border. Pistyll Rhaeadr falls to a height of 240 feet (approximately 73 meters). This famous waterfall, located in the Berwyn Mountains, is majestic and flows through lush green foliage, cascading down carved rock bridges, creating a breathtaking natural landscape.

To reach Pistyll Rhaeadr Falls, visitors must first travel to the village of Llanrhaeadr Mochnant and follow the 4-mile Aptly Trail. Once at the base of the falls, it takes another 20 minutes to climb to the top for a panoramic view of the entire Pistyll Rhaeadr Falls from above.

Wrexham Bell Tower

The Wrexham bell tower is located within the beautiful St Giles Church in the town of Wrexham. More precisely, once you enter the church grounds, you'll find this very old 15th-century tower. You can climb to the top and look east to admire the charming rooftops nestled in the valley. You can also walk around the bell tower to enjoy stunning views of the distant mountains and look down to see the bustling modern life on the streets below.

Snowdon Peak

The most famous of Wales' seven wonders is undoubtedly Snowdon, the highest peak in Snowdonia National Park and the entire United Kingdom. Visitors have six ways to reach the summit of Snowdon, each with varying degrees of difficulty. The easiest, and also the longest, is the Llanberis trail. Visitors can ride horses along the winding path to the summit, stopping to rest by the crystal-clear lakes halfway up the mountain. Alternatively, visitors can take the more challenging but scenic alternative, Watkin or Llanberis. The climb to the summit of Snowdon takes visitors through ancient forests and past a majestic waterfall before reaching the summit.

The yew tree in Overton village

Visiting the small village of Overton-on-Dee, tourists can admire the yew tree in the courtyard of St. Mary the Virgin Church. The yew tree is classified as an endangered species, currently listed in the world's Red List, with the scientific name Glyptostrobus Pensilis. The yew tree in Overton has a historical connection to the Jewish people. They have lived here for a very long time, even before St. Mary the Virgin Church was built.

St. Winefride's Well

Many visitors flock to this site for health reasons, believing that the sacred well of St Winefride can cure illnesses. This is because a Welsh king was once cured by drinking water from the well. Many royal visitors have come here, including King Richard I in 1189. After visiting the well, you can explore the surrounding gardens and learn more about the story of St Winefride within this historical site.

Llangollen Bridge

This medieval bridge spans the River Dee, flanked by the charming old houses of the town of Llangollen. Standing on the bridge and admiring the scenery in the bright sunshine, you might think it resembles a rural Italian village or a romantic Mediterranean landscape, rather than North Wales.

Gresford Handers Bell Tower

Visiting Gresford Church in Wrexham on a Monday afternoon, visitors will be treated to the distinctive sound of the Gresford Handers bell tower. This bell tower dates back to the late 1700s and is one of the oldest surviving landmarks in Wales.
