Hiking

Llangollen War Memorial commemorates those men of the Llangollen and Llandysilio parishes who died during World War I and World War II. The memorial, a high standing carved Celtic Cross, stood in Castle Street, at its junction with Bridge Street, in the centre of the town. The main memorial shows the general commemoration on the front face, and commemorates the names of 71 Llangollen men who died in WW1 on one side and the rear face, whilst on the last face commemorates the men from the parish of Llantysilio, 12 of whom died in WW1 and 3 in WW2.

An impressive monument to the fallen

Hiking

Only upon reaching this monument—a Celtic cross at its top—will the passing walker or hiker realize that this is not one of those small, sacred monuments that are frequently encountered. Rather, the cross standing here by the path serves as a war memorial, commemorating the many victims that war and tyranny have claimed, including in this place. Despite the significant distance in time between those days and the present, these memorials lose none of their relevance. Their constant reminder to maintain peace remains the everlasting message.
