About

Coed Llangwyfan Forest rises very steeply from the stream at its base and up on to the summit slopes of the Clwydian Hill near Penycloddiau.

There are three walks that start from here; two go to hillforts and all three offer great views.

There is also a bridleway that runs through the woodland which is popular with horse riders and cyclists.

The Offa's Dyke long distance path passes across the top of Coed Llangwyfan Woodland.

Pencloddiau Circular Trail 2.5 miles / 4 kilometres
The Penycloddiau Circular Trail is a walk through the forest with a gradual climb to the open summit of Penycloddiau and its giant Iron Age hillfort and spectacular views. The return route goes around the lower ramparts.
