Ivy Wood Coffee

Ivy Wood Coffee is a weekend coffee shop tucked beside the Llangollen Canal, open Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 am to 4 pm. Dogs are welcome inside and there's a water bowl ready for thirsty paws after a walk along the towpath. The café serves homemade cakes alongside coffee, making it a useful mid-route stop for walkers heading to or from the Horseshoe Falls.

The setting is particularly handy if you're tackling the scenic canal-side stretch with your dog. It's the sort of place where you can warm up, refuel and let your dog settle while you regroup before the next leg. The seasonal weekend-only hours mean it's worth checking you're visiting on the right day.

Ivy Wood Coffee keeps things simple and dog-friendly. Expect a genuinely welcoming spot where canal walkers with dogs are part of the everyday scene and a thoughtful water bowl means one less thing to carry in your pack.
