What to know
## Llangollen taxi fares
Llangollen is the Dee-valley town of the International Eisteddfod — Wrexham taxi table; canal, steam railway and hills, not a coast.
## Getting around by taxi
Llangollen is a small riverside town in the Dee Valley, 9 miles southwest of Wrexham, accessible on the A5. The nearest railway is Ruabon station (4 miles north on the Wrexham–Shrewsbury mainline). Local cabs: Abbey Cars Llangollen, Gary Pottinger, and Wrexham Executive Travel cover the area. During the International Musical Eisteddfod (July 7–12, 2026) the single A5 approach road and the 16th-century stone bridge create notorious traffic: pre-book cabs from Ruabon station or use the official park-and-ride to avoid arrival by car.
