This fine area of quality limestone crags and quarries is often overlooked by those travelling to Wales to climb, however the majestic cliffs lining the Eglwyseg Valley, situated to the north of Llangollen, are as good as most other inland limestone crags in Britain. Added to this are some delightful quarries and smaller edges dotted around all set in a lovely landscape and often with a friendlier climate than the mountain crags further west.

The main cliffs vary from the small solid walls of the Dinbren and Pinfold cliffs, through the popular crags of the World's End area and onto to the imposing major venue of Craig Arthur. The majority of the climbing is trad, with plenty on offer in the friendlier 'green spot' grades. In recent years there has been a substantial amount of bolting and re-gearing of existing routes which has left a wealth of high quality sport routes.
