Oswestry Ramblers welcome people who enjoy walking and the countryside. We walk twice a week mainly in Shropshire and Wales and help improve local footpaths.

This 6 mile MODERATE PLUS walk takes us from Caergwrle past the castle, up through the Bryn Yorkin Estate, around Hope Mountain and on to Waun-y-Llyn country park. We will stop at the viewpoint to enjoy the far reaching views.
The ascent up Hope Mountain is through woodland and orchards and is quite steep and slippery, with plenty of stiles, walking poles are advised but we will take it slowly and look back to enjoy the views. Near the summit the views open out towards Moel Famau and the Clwydians. We then move onward to Waun-y-Llyn country park and will stop at the viewpoint where the Toposcope identifies the locations around the 360 degree views.
Our descent is along quiet lanes but very steep, again walking poles are recommended.
Bring refreshments for a coffee and lunch stops.
