St Tysilio's in Llantysilio, Denbighshire, will launch the trail this weekend in the hope of attracting more visitors to a place that lies in its own "little bit of heaven". The venture was described as "fascinating" by a local politician who sees it as a clever way of pulling more tourists into the Vale of Llangollen.
St Tysilio lies close to Horseshoe Falls in a beautiful setting that gives stunning views of the Dee and the steam trains that run alongside it. The site has been a place of worship since the 6th century. The origins of the current single-naved building date back to 1180 but it was substantially renovated in the 15th century.
With a pre-Raphaelite stained glass window, links to the poet Robert Browning and monument to Shakespearean actress Helen Faucit, the church already attracts 10,000 people each year.
