Llanferres and the surrounding areas

Llanferres; an area of outstanding natural beauty. Situated in the heart of the rolling countryside of North Wales on the A494, a 10 minute drive from both the traditional market town of Mold, and Ruthin. This is the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy what this area has to offer in terms of escapism.

Being located in close proximity to the famous Offas Dyke path which stretches across the Clwydian mountain range, means there are many activities to be enjoyed. Whether an enthusiast or just out for the day this area has a great deal to offer to all age groups. There are many walking, and mountain biking routes used regularly and well maintained. These stretch throughout the many forests, mountains and valleys, with spectacular, breathtaking scenery.

The countryside is alive with wildlife and movement. See the farmers expertly using sheep dogs to heard sheep, see rabbits playing in the fields and hear the calls of many native and some rare birds.

Llanferres and the surrounding area has great historical significance and tradition records that King Arthur's sword is buried in the surrounding mountains at Moel Arthur. Llanferres is situated within a couple of miles of two National Parks, Moel Famau and Loggerheads Country Park. Both offer an excellent day out for all of the family, with mapped walks clearly sign posted for level of difficulty, and catering for all abilities, with wheel chair access and facilities at both locations. Moel Famau consists of 2000 acres of impressive, colourful heather moorland, a haven for wildlife like birds of prey. It forms part of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is well known for the prominent Jubilee Tower remains at the summit. The remains of the Jubilee Tower are at the highest point in the Park at 554m (1818ft). It was built to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of George III. A storm in 1862 reduced the impressive Egyptian style monument to the base that can be seen today.
