Summary
The Clwydian Way is a long-distance walk in North Wales located mainly within the county of Denbighshire, with sections extending into the neighboring regions of Conwy and Flintshire. Developed as a Millennium project by David Hollett of the Ramblers, it is a circular walk that can be started anywhere, though guidebooks conventionally show it beginning in the coastal town of Prestatyn. From there, the route passes through Trelawnyd, Rhuallt, Tremeirchion, Bodfari, Llangwyfan, Moel Famau, Cilcain, Loggerheads Country Park, Maeshafn, Eryrys, Llandegla, Llangollen, Rhewl, Llantysilio Mountain, Carrog, the Afon Dee Valley, Corwen, Bettws Gwerfil Goch, the Afon Alwen, Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr, Llyn Brenig, Llyn Aled, Aled Isaf, Llansannan, Bryn Rhyd-yr-Arian, Henllan, Denbigh, Dyffryn Clwyd, St Asaph, Dyserth, and Meliden. In general, the first half concentrates on the Clwydian Hills, while the second half features rolling hills and explores the rich lowlands.
