Walk Description
A mostly flat walk along the River Alyn from Loggerheads to Cilcain.
The whole area is know for it's mines and caves and this is a special walk alongside the river which is mainly fry in the summer due to the number of sinkholes in the riverbed. It is believed that the water sinks into a vast cave system underneath the Alyn valley -- some of which has been found and explored and some of which remains undiscovered. Additionally, the valley was extensively mined for Galena (lead sulphide) from the 1800's and the water from the river repeatedly flooded the mines. Efforts to plug the sinkholes failed and a tunnel was driven from the coastline 15 kilometres away to this very area to drain the mine workings whilst they were active. This tunnel is known as the Milwr tunnel.
The walk takes you past many sinkholes in the Alyn as well as some obvious mines as well as many hidden mine entrances. There are also caves scattered around, mostly small but with two substantial systems running below.
Devil's Gorge is a feature of the walk which sports a huge mine entrance (that does not actually go too far once inside) and also a gorge for climbing and abseiling.
The views are very good in winter when the foliage of the trees is damped with a great view of the Clwydian Range and Moel Famau.

Moel Famau Jubilee Tower Winter 2012
Video taken on the top of Moel Famau in December 2012. The Jubilee tower on top of Moel Famau is pretty cool and makes a good landmark. As you can see there was poor visability on the top which would have meant I got lost if I didn't know the area well. When I set off it was dark too which was really good fun as torches don't work in the fog (they just reflect the fog back). It was freezing cold on the top and pretty windy.

A Walk Up Moel Famau 6 Aug 2018. A Great Day Out For All!
I’m trying new places and this one was suggested so great to be out with a map in a brand new place for me. You could do either Moel on it’s own and still have a cracking time so please try this. Enjoy the film! If you enjoyed this please check out my UK walking films playlist
