Overview

BOOKING REQUESTED

A moderate-plus 11 mile walk, or 9 mile moderate option, using Offa's Dyke path over Eglwyseg Mountain (around mountain for moderate option) then a steepish stony descent down to its hamlet to follow the Clwydian Way back to the Ponderosa.  Hopefully bluebells will be out in the woods.  Risk assessment: Some boggy parts subsequent to rain, care needed on stony descent.
