A Walk from Dyserth Waterfalls to Cwm

This North Wales walk from the Denbighshire village of Dyserth shows that there’s good walking to be had in the lower northern hills of the Clwydian Range.  That’s hardly surprising considering that sections of this circular walk is along the Offa’s Dyke National Trail. The walk includes a walk to the Dyserth Waterfalls, a real hidden gem, as well as the viewpoint from Graig Fawr. With a section along the disused railway that used to join Dyserth to the mainline at Prestatyn, there’s plenty of variety on the way.

The walk also takes you past the hill fort on Moel Hiraddug, as well as offering the choice of a couple of pubs; The New Inn in Dyserth and the Blue Lion Inn in Cwm.
