What is happening?
Following a successful Levelling Up Fund (LUF) application, we are enhancing the public spaces that connect Llangollen’s Four Great Highways (Llangollen Canal, the old Ruabon to Barmouth Railway line, River Dee and A5 Holyhead Road). Some of the key priorities are improved accessibility, signage and better materials.

Interpretation and wayfinding designs feedback
Integrated interpretation and wayfinding: Small and narrow version
These are the designs for wayfinding posts. Wayfinding posts are used to help people navigate around an area.
This design shows a small, narrow post*. These could be put up in more places than bigger, wider signs. They could be used to show the history of an area, or to help people find their way around. We would make sure that the signs use colours which fit in with the area in which they are being put up.
* For illustrative purposes only.
A: Strong colour - Using bolder colours and tones along with full colour photos and artworks.
B: Muted colour - Using softer colours and tones along with monotone and duotone photos.
C: Black and white - Using bold black and white with grey tones
Integrated interpretation and wayfinding: Large and wide version
This design shows a large, wide post*. They could be used to show the history of an area, help people find their way around and show how long it will take to walk to another location.
We would make sure that the signs use colours which fit in with the area in which they are being put up.

A: Strong colour - Using bolder colours and tones along with full colour photos and artworks.
B: Muted colour - Using softer colours and tones along with monotone and duotone photos.

Interpretation with wayfinding fingerposts
We can also keep the direction content separate from the history information, but keep one post so there are not too many signs in the area.
This design shows the fingerposts to help people find their way with the history of the area attached to the bottom of the post*.

A: White fingerpost with black lettering.
B: Black fingerpost with whiteout lettering.
