Offa's Dyke Path!

Armed with a passport and Welsh phrase book I set off to walk a section of the Offa's Dyke Path!

The path roughly follows the border for 177 miles between England and Wales from Prestatyn to Sedbury on the Severn estuary 

Clwyd Gate to Loggerhead's country park via Offa's Dyke Path and the Devil's Gorge, 14miles 2600ft

Looking back along the path to Clwyd Gate - a road crossing point

on the path with Moel Gwy behind

The acorn symbol denotes that the path is one of the Britain's

national trails

The path follows a variety of scenery but this section is primarily

over the Clwydian mountains

The view down to the town of Ruthin

Descending Moel Fenlli heading for the next climb to Moel Famau

(Mother Mountain)

Zooming in on the nearest parking area to Moel Famau

A nice place to stop for a morning coffee and bite to eat.... 

 ....before the climb to the Jubilee tower on the summit of 

Moel Famau 1821ft

The tower was originally built in 1810 in an Egyptian style for the

golden jubilee of George the III  

A spiral stair case leads to the viewing area 

on the current flat top

While descending Moel Famau I could see Moel Arthur ahead, However it was now time to turn towards Loggerheads country park via Devil's Gorge 

This was now Limestone country and I could hear the sound of a

sunken river beneath the dry river bed  

The path through the gorge follows a wide ledge with 100ft wall to

the left and 100ft drop to the right

Looking down from the bridge on the path that spans the gorge 

Finally the path comes out upstream near the entrance to the

country park where a school party was enjoying an exercise in "exploring rivers"!
