Moel Famau- a day walk with views

This is a well known hill being the high point for many miles. It is situated in a country park near Loggerheads between Mold and Ruthin in north Wales.

Yellow fields like this are full of buttercups and or dandelions.

The hill itself and the country park is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty AONB. The peak of the hill 554m offers fantastic views.

The walk took about an hour and Holly managed to make it almost all the way. She only needed a lift a short way on the steepest part. Moel Famau is a typical hill in Northern Wales being very old, weather warn and without steep sides.

Sitting proudly on the very top of Moel Famau is the Jubilee Tower - or at least what remains of it. It is a popular place to walk and attracts a lot of families on Christmas Eve and for New Years.

The views from on top were amazing. You could see for miles. The key is to get a good day. Our wasn't bad with just high cloud. We actually saw heat haze today. Given the weather over the last five month, we were pleased to see it.
