Ponderosa Cafe & Gifts
Highlight • Viewpoint
Wales offers the perfect territory to explore on a bike. It is a biker’s haven with plenty of lovely routes that dot the stunning Welsh landscape. Set atop the beautiful Welsh town of Llangollen at the summit of the Horseshoe pass, lies the famous Ponderosa Cafe. It is a family run business and is celebrating its 31st year of being in business. The Ponderosa is one of the most well-known and popular cafes in North Wales.
Situated at a height of 1,400 ft above sea level, it offers the most spectacular views of the countryside and has some lovely spots to explore on a trip there. To its north lies the Clwydian Mountain range, which looks enchanting on a clear day. If the weather is good visitors can also catch a glimpse of the three peaks of Snowdon.
