Horse racing at Bangor-on-Dee started more than 150 years ago
when a couple of chaps from the local hunt galloped across the
meadows for a £50 prize.
And they still haven't got around to putting in a grandstand.
Bangor is the only racecourse in Britain without one. Because the
views are so stunning from the grass banks fo this natural
amphitheatre overlooking the River Dee and the Welsh hills, there
really isn't any need.
The place is so special that it was thriller writer Dick
Francis's favourite course. Mind, things have changed a bit since
he rode his first ever winner here back in 1947. Not least the posh
nosh available in the Paddock and Wynnstay restaurants.
The course is so popular that it stages National Hunt meetings
10 months of the year. So what's the attraction? Pure
entertainment, whether you're an inveterate punter or a complete
novice.
No wonder Coed Llandegla
Forest covers 650 acres. It has alot to pack in. Mountain
biking routes for all abilities. Half the Welsh population of black
grouse. And an eco-friendly cafe serving officially Britain's best
bacon baps.
There's alot of water in the North Wales Borderlands. And alot
of watersports to
go with it. Try white water rafting, canoeing and kayaking on the
River Dee at Llangollen.
