Farm Walk  

Start: Go through the gate in the farmyard at the back of the house. Follow the track up.

Continue walking along the track

The Llantysilio Mountain Range is on your left. 

The Mountain with the masts is Cyrn y Brain - 1,847ft. Next: Moel y Faen - 1,797 ft (above the quarry) Next: Moel y Gamelin – 1,893ft (highest) Next: Moel y Gaer – 1,653(with a hill fort), & Moel Morfydd at - 1,455ft (pronounced peak). 

Go over a style by the gate and continue along the track through a wooded ravine.

The track will bring you to another gate and into an open field.

 The view to your left is of the Vale of Iâl (iâl: means ‘Fertile plain’ in English). 

Turn left up the field.

Head towards the white post on the brow of the hill. 

There is a small quarry in this field by the white post. The stone was used to build the original road to the house. 

Please take care by the quarry. 

There is a roman road somewhere in this vicinity. It was the main route from Chester to Bala.

Continue past the white post to the brow of the hill above.

The 'Vale of Clwyd' will come into view on your left as you climb up the hill.

(Clwyd meaning 'Gate' is the name of the river that runs through the vale)

Head for another white post by a gate. Climb over the style by the gate and turn left to follow the fence.

Continue along the field with the fence on your left. Head for a gate into the next field. Your nearly there.

Go thorough the gate and turn right to the brow of the hill. You are within 20metres of the highest point>.

(There is no marker to signify the highest point – you just cannot climb any higher)

The 'Vale of Clwyd' is beneath you with the Irish Sea in the distance. On a clear day you can see the seaside town of Rhyl and the market towns of Denbigh and Ruthin. Click here to see the view from the highest point at Plas yn ial
