More about this scene

The town is most famous now for its annual international eisteddfod, one of the high spots of the cultural calendar in Wales. Most of the year it exists as a busy town on the A5; it has always attracted a great number of visitors, many of them water sports enthusiasts who have come to the River Dee. Today, the bridge here is often thronged with people watching the canoeists below. Perhaps the people on the bridge in this scene are looking at some earlier paddlers.

Lets all get together for the music festival
I was a member of Ystrad Hall also - I don't remember you Billy Crawford, what year was you there? Llangollen was a great place, I believe there was a lot of child molesting going on that's why you don't hear much about this strange place - It turned out to be a cash cow for the likes of Dick and the Rat ...
I was a pupil at Ystrad Hall and would just like to say that in my time there I have some of the best memories of this lovely little town. I often wonder what became of Ystrad and many of my friends and of course staff members, many of whom were local. The Horseshoe Pass, the castle, fishing in the Dee, the Copper Kettle, I could go on. This is a really nice web site and I will be visiting it lots. Hope I hear from someone I know. All the best . Billy Crawford.
