Clwydian Way
Taith Clwyd

Circular from Prestatyn via Llangollen, Corwen and Denbigh 243km/152 miles total

This millennial commemoration route provides a circuit around Denbighshire through splendid but little-known walking country in the Clwydian Range and the Vale of Clwyd, through fine scenery rich in wildlife and the historic towns of Ruthin, Llangollen, Corwen, Denbigh, St Asaph and Rhuddlan

The main 195km/122-mile route is roughly in the shape of a bottle with Prestatyn at the top. An alternative 48km/30-mile moorland section links Mynydd Hiraethog, Llansannan and Denbigh, creating several shorter circuits.

The Way was first developed by North Wales Ramblers and launched as an unsigned route in 2001. It was signed with the help of local authorities and the European Union during 2004 and 2005.
