Llangwyfan Woods

About Llangwyfan Woods

This 85 hectare woodland rises very steeply from the the stream at its base and up on to the summit slopes of the Clwydian Hill near Penycloddiau. Large parts of the area have been clear felled revealing long views across the Vale of Clwyd towards Denbigh.

How to get there:

Llangwyfan Woods is part of Clwyd. Llangwyfan is the nearest town or village.

From the A525 Denbigh south roundabout, follow the minor road sign posted to Llanddyrnog. Go straight on at the next roundabout across the B5429, turn left at the next junction, follow this road to the top of the hill.

---------------
The area is crossed by two public bridleways, both of which are popular with horse riders and cyclists. The Offa's Dyke long distance path, passes across the top of the woodland and is used by long distance walkers as well as locals on much shorter circular walks. The upper margins border on the Penycloddiau Bronze Age Hill Fort, one of the best preserved in the country.

Please check before you visit that the area you want to come to is not closed, due to work in progress or an event taking place, by logging on to the CCW Website for current and future closures as determined by the CRoW 2000 Act.
