ThingsToDoThe home of the Ladies of Llangollen / LLANGOLLEN
Plas Newydd, Llangollen
Visit the Gothicised home of Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby, whose life together made Llangollen a destination for notable visitors. The house and gardens give two different ways to explore their story: paid house admission for the interiors, or a free garden visit when you want a shorter outdoor stop. This is the council-run property in Llangollen, not the National Trust house on Anglesey.

The practical details
- Where to find it
- Hill Street, Llangollen LL20 8AW
Directions and arrival information - Tickets and booking
- Buy house tickets at the tearoom under the current arrangements. Gardens are ordinarily free from morning to sunset, while house entry is paid; carers accompanying disabled visitors enter free. Check seasonal hours and current works. Groups of fifteen or more should book ahead.
- Access and getting around
- The Dell is below the house with sloping paths. A viewing platform provides a way to look into it without descending; improved paths do not remove all gradients. Confirm current house-room access, toilet provision and any work-related diversions with the venue before booking.
Official access information - Visiting with children
- Under-fives enter the house free on the current tariff; older children have paid admission. Combine a short look at the rooms with the garden, supervising near the stream and on slopes. Dogs are permitted in the grounds on leads; check any indoor assistance-dog arrangements directly.
Practical information checked 15 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.
