Looking along the Eglwyseg valley, an area to the north east of Llangollen, from the Horseshoe Pass which separates Llantysilio Mountain to the west from Cyrn-y-Brain to the east. The road travels in a horseshoe shape around the sides of the valley, giving the pass its English name. Its Welsh name is Bwlch yr Oernant which means “Pass of the Cold Stream".
