All Users Trail

About All Users Trail

A pleasant circular trail beginning at either the north or south entrance to the woodland. Relatively flat and traffic free this trail is popular with walkers, cyclists (especially families) and horse riders.

How to get there:

All Users Trail can be started from Nercwys in Nercwys which is part of Clwyd. Mold is the nearest town or village.

From the A494 west of Mold at the Village of Gwernymynydd, take Ffordd Glyndwr (from near Yr Enfys public house) and head south. At the first cross roads go straight across onto Ffordd Cae Newydd. This brings you to the north-eastern corner of the woodland and a slate sign for the "Millennium Oak Trees". Take the right turn at this point and the car park is on the right after 150m.
