Bryn Alyn Circular Walk

This walk climbs to the peak of Bryn Alyn in the Clwydian Range near Mold.
The walk starts from the roadside parking area just to the south of the village of Llanferres. From here you head south east to climb to Bryn Alyn where you can enjoy some wonderful views of the River Alyn Valley and the surrounding peaks of the Clwydian Range.... The area is also notable for its extensive limestone pavement, the second largest in Wales. 
You can continue your walking in the area on the nearby Nercwys Forest Circular Walk and the Loggerheads Country Park Walk.

The three peaks of Bryn Alyn - a Site of Special Scientific Interest in Denbighshire, Wales, which forms part of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
There are traces of mining and lime burning, vipers and quite long caves. There are three peaks: with the one closest to the village of Eryrys at 408 metres, and the other two, nearby at 403 metres. In 1981 artefacts from the Bronze Age were found: two gold bracelets an ignot of gold and an axe with a socket: the discovery is believed to have a religious connection.
