Adeiladwyd y Gamlas o gwmpas y dref hefyd a’i chyfuno i ddod â mewnfudo sylweddol i Langollen yn ystod rhan gynnar y 19eg ganrif. Heddiw mae Llangollen yn dibynnu’n helaeth ar y diwydiant twristiaeth, ond yn dal i ennill incwm sylweddol o ffermio.
Llangollen became important because of its prominent position on the main London to Holyhead coaching road which was improved by Thomas Telford from 1815 and continued for some 15 years. The Canal was also constructed around the town and combined to bring considerable immigration into Llangollen during the early part of the 19th century. Today Llangollen relies heavily on the tourist industry, but still gains substantial income from farming.
