ABOUT

Welcome to the

LLANGOLLEN RURAL
Community Council website

The Council serves the communities of Froncysyllte, Garth and Trevor which are situated within the eleven mile stretch of the Dee Valley, that was granted World Heritage Status in 2009. We are located in the Vale of Llangollen on the banks of the River Dee in the County Borough of Wrexham.

The Council is elected, with each Councillor serving a four year term. There are 10 Councillors serving the three villages, Froncysyllte, Garth and Trevor. In order to finance expenditure the Community Council precepts its requirements on the County Council. This is the money that Wrexham County Borough Council provides to the Community Council in order to conduct its business.

All income/expenditure is subject to an annual internal and external audit and copies of the audited accounts are available for public inspection on this web site and by contacting the Clerk, details below.

Council meetings are held on the first Tuesday in the month (except August and January when there is a recess) and commence at 7.00 pm. They are held alternately at Froncysyllte Community Centre and Garth & Trevor Community Centre as indicated below. The press and public are welcome to attend.

Trevor

Trevor village, which encompasses the hamlet of Pontcysyllte, is situated on the north bank of the river Dee and at the northerly end of the Pontcysyllte aqueduct. The wharf on the canal at Trevor attracts thousands of visitors annually who come to see and walk over Thomas Telford's famous aqueduct which was completed in 1805. The wharf is also the base for many holiday barges and provides mooring for boats travelling the canal.

Garth

Garth village extends northwards from the A539 Llangollen to Wrexham road into the Ruabon mountains. Much developed in recent years the village is busy with locals and visitors en route to the nearby Panorama walk which forms part of Offa's Dyke path.

The local junior school, serving both Garth and Trevor, has one of the finest views from any school in Britain.

Its chapels have long since been converted to private dwellings but the church known as Trevor Church is still active. Nearby is Trevor Hall, once the home of a local business man, which is now a guest house.

GARTH

Froncysyllte

Froncysyllte village is situated on the southern bank of the River Dee, in the foothills of the Berwyn mountains, it is also at the southern end of the famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct which carries the Llangollen canal over the River Dee. it straddles the A5 London to Holyhead road.

In summer the canal is busy with holiday boats travelling to and fro between Llangollen and the Midlands.

The village is probably best known these days for it's world renowned Male Voice Choir which has won prizes in many eisteddfodau and festivals.
