Dist:0.2km<br/>A familiar stile with beckoning views rolling on to one big adventure.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Backing up to a rockface this bungalow has a great outlook to its front, over June hay meadows towards Prestatyn Hillside and the distant coast.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Apparently this area was heavily quarried, as well as being mined for copper and lead, the quarries closing in the mid 20th century, subsequently becoming habitats for birds and other wildlife. Offa's Dyke Path passes along this pathway above the cliffs.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This stile necessitates walkers climbing up rough stone steps in the bank and negotiating hawthorn, thistle, nettles and brambles to gain the field on the other side. It is one of many awkward stiles on the 177 mile path and even laden with a huge rucksack you become adept at assessing their individual foibles, utilising just the necessary energy (and no more) and crossing them efficiently, then forgetting them.

Dist:0.3km<br/>At first I thought it was a roadside grave. Such is my ignorance.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Offa's Dyke Path in pastures of long grass not far from Graig Fawr and the community of Meliden.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Graig Fawr is always popular with walkers and dog walkers, and today is no different.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This limestone hill was donated to the NT by local steel magnate Sir Geoffrey Summers. The footpath ahead winds to the trig point.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A footpath swings away towards a car park across the grass and bracken of the estate. In the distance old quarry workings on Y Foel.
