Overview

The most northerly section of the Trail is still in the Clwydian Range. Proceeding northwards from Bodfari the glimpses of the sea open up into full view with the ever growing off shore wind farm of Prestatyn and Rhyll filling the horizon. Fabulous views of Snowdonia and the North Wales coast (from the Great Orme to Deeside) are seen from Prestatyn Hillside before descending into the town and onwards to the end of the Trail at Prestatyn beach.
