The Clwydian and Berwyn ranges are two of the best known hill ranges in North East Wales, yet you'll feel like you have them all to yourself. Their rolling hills, heather-clad moors and limestone outcrops are iconic of the region. As you hike these hills you'll discover a region rich in history. The presence of numerous hill forts, castles, old quarries and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal demonstrates the region's importance throughout the Iron, Bronze and Industrial Ages.
Starting from Ruthin you'll stay in Boutique guesthouses, all offering a warm Welsh welcome along with a hearty breakfast to set you up for the day.
Arrive in the historic town of Ruthin, surrounded by hills.
Stay overnight at Manorhaus, Ruthin (Breakfast included)
From Ruthin enjoy a circular walk in the Clwydian range. Head out to the Iron Age site of Foel Fenlli, on to the Jubilee Tower atop Moel Famau and to Gellifor from where you return along the riverside.
Stay overnight at Manorhaus, Ruthin (Breakfast included)
In the morning explore the medieval town of Ruthin, including its Pentonville-style gaol and the oldest timbered house in North Wales, Nantclwyd Y Dre, restored to share the 7 ages of this 15th century house and home to the award-winning Lord's Gardens. A transfer (included) will then take you to the top of the scenic Horseshoe Pass. You'll descend down through the valley, with perhaps a detour to 13th century Castell Dinas Bran, before continuing towards the riverside town of Llangollen passing through lush green fields, scree slopes and limestone escarpments along the way.
Stay overnight at Manorhaus, Llangollen (Breakfast included)
Enjoy a circular walk to Horseshoe Falls and the start of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct & Canal World Heritage Site. Head up and out along the limestone escarpment to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, returning along the Llangollen Canal.
Stay overnight at Manorhaus, Llangollen (Breakfast included)
Take the steam train from Llangollen to Glyndyfrdwy (included Apr-Oct). Here you'll begin your first hike in the quiet, soft rolling hills of the Berwyns. Hike through sheep-strewn grassland and rolling moorland clad with dense heather. These moors are synonymous with the Berwyns and the purple haze of flowering heather in late summer creates a real spectacle in the evening sunshine. Your next overnight stop is at Llanarmon DC.
Stay overnight at West Arms (Breakfast and evening meal included)
Located in the heart of the Berwyns, your guesthouse is perfectly positioned for one of many circular walks today. Heading south from the village, a moderate 11km route will take you up and over Cefn Hir-fynydd hill standing at 464m.
Stay overnight at West Arms (Breakfast and evening meal included)

Everyone who goes on a Headwater holiday will be emailed a link to our post-holiday questionnaire where they can give us an honest assessment of all aspects of their holiday - everything from how quickly we answer the phone to how clean the hotels were - plus an overall rating and comments about their holiday.
Any feedback collected is posted to our website, so that people can make an informed decision based on past experiences before heading off on holiday. We don’t edit the reviews, the only thing we do is proofread them and alter any typos, where necessary, to ensure they are easy to read for everyone. All reviews will be published (except in certain extreme circumstances), and a member of the Headwater team will respond to any constructive criticisms/comments under the reviews, at their discretion. So, for the real tales, twists and turns of our holidays, look no further than the reviews from our previous travellers.
This was a wonderful walking holiday through stunning and varied countryside, with very good accommodation and some wonderful eating to boot. The Headwater app worked very well to guide the walk, we loved it's little oh-oh when we went off track, as much as its hurrah when we found our way back. Encountered few other walkers en route, im the main, which made it all the more special.
You can be confident that our pricing includes all the standard requirements of your holiday and many additional extras. Always ensure that you are comparing like for like when booking your holiday.
