点评:A Breathtaking Day at Horseshoe Pass and Llangollen
I’ve travelled to quite a few beautiful places over the years, but my recent visit to Horseshoe Pass in Llangollen genuinely took my breath away. The drive up alone is something special, the road twists and curves through the hills in a way that makes you slow down and really take it all in. When you reach the top, the views stretch for miles across the valleys, dotted with sheep and rolling green fields. It’s the sort of landscape that makes you feel both peaceful and alive at the same time.
I stopped at the Ponderosa Café near the summit, and sat outside just soaking up the scenery. The air felt so clean, and there was a lovely sense of calm up there.
Afterwards, I headed down into Llangollen itself, and what a charming little town that is. The River Dee runs right through it, and you can hear the sound of the rushing water as you walk along the old bridge. There are plenty of independent shops and cafés, and the people are warm and welcoming. I even took a stroll along the canal, where the horses still tow the old narrowboats, a lovely nod to history.
In the evening, I visited Gales Wine Bar, which turned out to be the perfect way to round off the day. The atmosphere was cosy and relaxed, with great food and an impressive wine list. It had a welcoming, local feel that made me want to linger long after finishing my meal.
All in all, Horseshoe Pass and Llangollen are absolute gems of North Wales. Whether you’re there for the views, a good walk, or just a peaceful day out, it’s a place that stays with you. I’ll definitely be back, next time with my camera and maybe a picnic.
翻译:马蹄铁隘口和兰戈伦的惊艳一日
这些年来,我去过不少风景优美的地方,但最近兰戈伦的马蹄铁隘口之旅却让我叹为观止。单是驱车上山就是一种特别的体验,蜿蜒曲折的道路在山间穿梭,让人忍不住放慢脚步,尽情欣赏沿途的景色。登顶后,绵延数英里的山谷景色一览无余,绵延的羊群和连绵起伏的绿色田野点缀其间。这样的景色既让人感到宁静祥和,又让人充满活力。
我在山顶附近的庞德罗萨咖啡馆(Ponderosa Café)停了下来,坐在外面欣赏着美景。空气清新,山上弥漫着一种令人心旷神怡的宁静。
之后,我下山前往兰戈伦,这座小镇真是一个迷人的地方。迪河从小镇中流过,沿着古老的桥梁漫步,可以听到潺潺的流水声。这里有很多独立的商店和咖啡馆,人们热情好客。我甚至沿着运河漫步,那里至今仍可见马匹拖着古老的窄船,仿佛在向历史致敬。
晚上,我去了盖尔斯葡萄酒吧 (Gales Wine Bar),这真是完美地结束了一天。酒吧氛围温馨轻松,美食和令人印象深刻的酒单令人垂涎。这里洋溢着热情友好的当地风情,让我在用餐后久久不愿离去。
总而言之,马蹄铁隘口 (Horseshoe Pass) 和兰戈伦 (Llangollen) 绝对是北威尔士的瑰宝。无论您是来欣赏美景、悠闲漫步,还是只想享受宁静的一天,这里都会让您流连忘返。我一定会再来的,下次带上相机,或许还能来一次野餐。
