Overview

 We start from Rhuallt and follow Offa’s Dyke path steeply uphill initially then all the way to Marian Cwm, where we leave it to go towards Dyserth, before then starting back via the woods on the lower slopes of Moel Hiraddug. We will then stop at The Blue Lion in Cwm to refresh ourselves, before the final pull up towards the upper part of Mynydd Cwm and more woods before finishing back at Rhuallt. We should get lots of lovely views along the way, both across to the sea and then over the Vale of Clwyd. Although there is 500 metres of height gain, it’s mainly done with two steep fairly short bits and the start and towards the end !
