Enthusiastic fundraisers from Ty Gobaith, our local children's in Conwy and Hope House hospice in Shropshire and Cheshire will be coming together to raise money during the popular Llangollen Canal Walk.

The scenic walk on Sunday, March 6 will see walkers take in the stunning Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, beautiful canal-side scenery and wildlife.

The much anticipated events has paused in recent years due to the pandemic explained the organisers.

"Our popular Llangollen Canal Walk will return two years since the last time we were able to hold it.

"The 10-mile walk will begin at The Trevor Basin in the morning, then taking in five miles of stunning scenery up to the Poachers’ Pocket and returning over the world-famous aqueduct.

"For those who would prefer to complete a 10-mile walk virtually on a route of their choice then tickets are also available for that option too."

Fundraiser Cat Dowdeswell added: “This really is one of the best local walking routes, is manageable for walkers of all abilities, and of course families. You can even bring the dog if you like, as long as they are kept on a lead.

“We can’t wait to see you all there again, what a way to welcome in the Spring. Tickets are likely to go quickly for this one so make sure you sign up online.”

The event has been sponsored by Net World Sports.

Lois Jones, Marketing Executive at Net World Sports, said: “We are thrilled to once again be sponsoring the Llangollen Canal Walk for 2022. It’s a fantastic event that brings together members of the community as they participate in the 10-mile walk.

“We’re sure this year will be another huge success in raising the crucial funds needed for all the Hope House and Tŷ Gobaith families who need our support.”

Tickets are £10 for adults and £5 for children and are available here https://www.hopehouse.org.uk/Event/canal.
