Moel Arthur
Outstanding views from the CLwydian Hills.
We are going to explore the hills and woods around the Pen-y-Cloddiau Iron Age hill fort.
Birds on the hills are sparse but there are some specialities such as chats and wheatear. As we amble along, we will hopefully enjoy picturesque views of the Clwydian range and Vale of Clwyd. Weather permitting of course!!!
There may be a few uneven footpaths and slight hills, and paths may become muddy after rain.
There are no facilities.
Meet at Coed Llangwyfan & Penycloddiau Car Park, near Nannerch.
Ready to depart at 9:30am.
The post code is given as CH7 5RP, BUT THIS MAY NOT take you exactly to the car park using your satnav. (It will hopefully get you close to Nannerch village at least).
