North Berwyn Way

The North Berwyn Way is a waymarked trail in the Berwyn hills promoted by Denbighshire council. The North Berwyn Way follows the northern foothills of the Berwyn Range, following the southern boundary of the Clwydian Hills and Dee Valley AONB.

This makes a suitable mid level route, or it can be combined with the Dee Valley Way in order to form a circuit of the valley that could form the basis of a tough weekend’s walking.
