Overview

Our walk will be through the quiet rolling countryside west of Llansilin to the hamlet of Moelfre in its secluded valley with a lake and Woodland Trust reserve. From there we will head towards Berthlwyd and Pantglas and return via Moelfre Hall and Pentre. The terrain is undulating, but not steep, on field paths and quiet lanes with lovely views all round.
