About this title

Synopsis

Guide Book - Longdistance Path. In the main the path circles round Denbighshire, but in the east it crosses over into Flintshire, and in the west part of the alternative, Llansannan route, passes through Conwy. The entire route, however, runs through what can be rightly termed "The Heart of North Wales" - thus providing long-distance ramblers with a perfect combination of scenic countryside and medieval towns and villages to pass through and enjoy. The main, 122 mile-long route, runs from Prestatyn along the Clwydian Range, then on to Llangollen in the south. It then runs west along the Llantysilio Range to Corwen, north to Brenig, east through the Clocaenog Forest, and north again, through the Vale, back to Prestatyn. By the use of an alternative route through Llansannan, and a 'Link-Path' near Denbigh, the walk can, however, be broken down into three shorter circular walks, the 88 mile long 'South Clwydian Circular', the 55 mile long 'West Clwydian Circular', and the 42 mile long 'North Clwydian Circular'. In the second section of this guide we have included route descriptions of twelve short circular walks in or near Denbighshire, all of which are based on a particular section of the main Clwydian Way. These will appeal to those who like moderate, rather than long-distance walking. They will also give those who are considering walking the complete route an opportunity to get a 'taste' of this LDP before committing themselves to the full trek. The guide is fully illustrated, and all routes are outlined on full-colour Ordnance Survey strip-maps. Prestatyn, where the main route starts and ends, is conveniently placed on the main London-Holyhead rail line. The guide also contains a full list of Tourist Information Centres from whom information about accommodation on the route can be obtained.
