'A wonderful area to explore on foot. Relatively short walks are quickly rewarded by breathtaking views and stunning landscapes. But some magnificent long-distance footpaths also criss-cross the area including the Daddy of them all: Offa's Dyke National Trail.
'We specialise in individually tailored group walking tours in North Wales. Based in the beautiful Vale of Clwyd we cater for walkers of all abilities.'
'It is really easy to step out into the diverse and outstanding landscape that makes up Denbighshire, from the spectacular Eglwyseg Escarpment in the Dee Valley to the tranquil Vale of Clywd and the Coastal Dunes.'
'Coed Llandegla Forest provides a range of routes suitable for walkers of all abilities and fitness levels: Reservoir Walking Route (2.5 miles); Black Grouse Walking Route (2 miles); Intermediate Walking Route (2 miles); Long Walking Route (7 miles).'
Usually held Early Spring Bank Holiday Weekend.
ALERT SADLY, there will be no more Llangollen Walking Festivals. We've had the pleasure of running our festival for eight years. Shared some great walks and met many lovely people. Due to circumstances we are no longer able to carry-on.' [November 2021]

'Walkers of all abilities are catered for in Hiraethog with numerous way-marked trails of all lengths and levels available – and plenty of breath taking scenery to boot.'
'Discover the soaring mountains of Snowdonia, the scenic countryside of the North East Wales borderlands and Anglesey or coastal walks which wrap around the whole area, from Barmouth in the west to Flintshire in the north east.'
'This section of the Website highlights the countryside sites within Denbighshire, which provide differing levels of easier access routes for people with varying levels of mobility, allowing everyone the chance to explore the diverse and outstanding landscape of Denbighshire.'
'This scenic new trail around the Alwen Reservoir follows the shoreline and takes you through forest plantations and up onto Mynydd Hiraethog with stunning landscape views from high on the moorland.'
Llyn Brenig [Welsh Water]
'Route around Llyn Brenig. This reservoir is one of the largest areas of water in Wales. Opened in 1976 by the Prince of Wales, it holds 13,200 million gallons of water, covers an area of 371 hectares and took four years to fill! ... The Hiraethog Region is a stunning and unspoilt landscape of rolling heather moor, deep forest and quiet lakes in the heart of North Wales.'
'Promoted route for walkers, meandering from Corwen up to Lake Brenig.'
'Ridge walking, moorland and panoramic views ... Very strenuous, open moorland, long ascents (750m/2100ft climb)'
'Created to celebrate the Millennium, it takes the walker through some of North Wales' finest countryside. The classic route starts and ends in the traditional seaside resort of Prestatyn, which is well served by bus and rail connections. The route uses public rights of way and is trailmarked with a distinctive white disc featuring the Buzzard.'
'Walking in Denbighshire doesn’t all have to be about long distance challenges – there are a number of shorter day walks across the county or short walks that will only take an hour or so. These often link communities and explore some of Denbighshire’s most special places ...'
'Follows the course of the River Dee between the picturesque towns of Corwen and Llangollen.'
'Moorland with wide views, woodland and riverside walking.'
'Explore the history of Llangollen and the surrounding Dee valley on this easy-to-follow, waymarked circular trail. Stunning views, beautiful countryside and a wealth of wildlife make it a truly memorable walk.'
'The Llangollen Round is a new 33-mile circular route taking in all the summits around the picturesque Vale of Llangollen, written by local author Judy Smith ... The route of the Llangollen Round has been devised by Llangollen Branch of Cancer Research UK, and with the aid of local sponsors, has been presented in detail in a colourful 24-page booklet ... The Llangollen Round Sponsored Walk is now a Triennial Event.

'Wales has long been a popular destination for walkers, and with some justification – the rugged peaks of Snowdonia and the majestic Brecon Beacons in particular. But other areas also have plenty to offer. For those walkers with an interest in history and archaeology a series of self-guided walks is being developed to help them explore a range of archaeological sites.'
'The Mynydd Hiraethog network consists of a linear 40 mile route, together with six shorter circular routes which can each be walked individually ... A leaflet pack consisting of a set of ten maps together with some information about the area (including accommodation and services) is available for purchase from Conwy Council.'
ALERT This Pack no longer seems to be available for purchase - though of course you may find second-hand copies.
'Linear trail that climbs the wild North Berwyn Mountains to the south of the River Dee ... Although the guide is set out from Corwen, the North Berwyn Way can be walked in either direction. To follow the route from Llangollen to Corwen, simply work through the sections in reverse order.'
'Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, the largest in Britain, is an awesome testament to the genius of its designer, Thomas Telford. It took 10 years to build at a cost of £47,000, using local sandstone and iron cast at the Plas Kynaston foundry, near Wrexham ...'
'Explores the upper reaches of the Dee Valley from the hills of Cynwyd, to the broad valley where the Dee emerges from Llyn Tegid (Bala Lake).'
