Moel Arthur

We followed a gentle route, through the park/Clwyd Forest, the southern-most of four routes from the car park. The route follows a bridleway contouring the hillside gradually ascending from 190m AOD to 300m AOD over a mile and about 45 minutes walk.

Joining the hill road above Glyn Arthur, we proceeded east until we met the Offa's Dyke path. We followed the signed path northwards up a steep 500m climb before departing the Offa's Dyke path to climb to the summit.

The hilltop is crowned by the earthworks of an Iron Age Fort built over 2000 years ago by Celts. At 450m Moel Arthur provides extensive views including Moel Famau to the south.

Continuing northwards on a small path down the hill, we rejoined Offa's Dyke path and followed it back to the car park.
