Overview

Meeting and parking at the Holybush in Cefn-y-bedd. From here the walk will join a short stretch of the Watts Dyke Way. On leaving the National Trail we'll skirt around the edge of Caer Estyn Hill Fort then rejoin the trail to head back to the starting point. During the walk there is just one style, several gates and footbridges including the Packhorse Bridge in Caergwrle.
