No dogs allowed
We start at the Coed Llangwyfan and Penycloddiau car park, southeast of the hill and follow Offa’s Dyke path to climb to the summit of Penycloddiau which is one of the largest hill forts inn Wales (height 440m).
From here, we descend towards Nant Coed-y-Mynydd and then head south along the side of the hill above the Vale of Clwyd.
Towards the end of the walk we head up towards Moel Arthur, which is another of the Clwydian Bronze Age hillforts (but we don’t have to climb to the actual summit!) and then cross fields to return to the car park.
The walk is a ‘figure of eight’ which gives the option for people to complete the first two thirds of the walk – missing out the ascent and descent of Moel Arthur.
To book the walk join the relevant group in the OHWC Community.
