READERS have been getting in touch to tell us about what they think makes Llangollen special after it was chosen as Wales' best town.

More than 9,000 Which? members rated the inland towns and villages they'd visited, with the top spots going to Wells in Somerset and Avebury in Wiltshire.

But, Llangollen was selected as Wales' top place to visit and seventh on the list overall.

The town received an overall 79% destination score, thanks to a three-star rating for its shops and its 'peace and quiet' factor, four-star rating for its food and drink and tourist attractions and five-star ratings for its scenery and 'attractiveness'.

We picked out the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Llangollen Railway, Castell Dinas Bran and Llangollen Bridge as just five of the must-visit spots in the Llangollen area.

And, after the news was announced, we asked our readers why they think Llangollen deserves the title of 'best town in Wales'.
