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.'

'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 Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust

'The Mynydd Hiraethog network consists of a linear 40 mile route, together with six shorter circular routes which can each be walked individually ...

ALERT This Pack no longer seems to be available for purchase - though of course you may find second-hand copies.
