Walking in the Clwydian Range Guidebook

by: Carl Rogers
The Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is both varied and beautiful and offers some of the finest walking in the Welsh borders. Within the AONB lies the entire Clwydian Range from Prestatyn to Llandegla, as well as the limestone country to the east of Afon Alyn. Open hills, heather moors and wooded river valleys can be enjoyed together with stunning limestone scenery and the relics of long abandoned mine workings.

Walking the Clwydian Range describes 21 circular walks spread throughout the area; many on the well-known higher summits traversed by the Offa's Dyke Path, others in the little known country to the east of the main ridge. Distances and terrain vary to suit a range of abilities and several of the routes can be shortened or combined for longer excursions.

The book begins with an excellent introduction to the Clwydian Range. Sketch maps and informative background information accompany the detailed route descriptions. The guide is illustrated with black and white and a section of colour photographs.
