About
Coed Llangwyfan Forest is four miles east of Denbigh. It rises very steeply from the stream at its base and up on to the summit slopes of the Clwydian Hill near Penycloddiau.
The Offa's Dyke long distance path passes across the top of Coed Llangwyfan Woodland. There is also a bridleway that runs through the woodland which is popular with horse riders and cyclists.
There are three walks that start from here; two go to hillforts and all three offer great views:
Coed Llangwyfan Circular 2 miles / 3 kilometres
The Coed Llangwyfan Circular Trail is a walk with a gradual descent through the forest, passing by a range of different habitats and tree species along the way.
Moel Arthur Circular Trail 2.5 miles / 4 kilometres
The Moel Arthur Circular Trail takes a steep climb to the summit of Moel Arthur with its prominent 2,500 year old Iron Age hillfort and panoramic views. The return route goes around the foothills.
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.
