Overview

This scenic, moderate-grade (C) 7-mile walk in the Clwydian Hills includes parts of The North Wales Pilgrim's Way, a Roman Road and Offa's Dyke Path.

It offers magnificent views (weather permitting) over Cwm Mountain and beyond to the Irish Sea.

We will pass by Bryntirion Farm with its quirky collection of colourful iron sculptures and through the grounds of the imposing 19th century Bryngwyn Hall (pictured)
