Hi Everyone,

My guided walks are now more fully up and running for the rest of the 2023 season into the end of autumn.

These walks are open to locals and tourists.

All are welcome, and of course feel free to mention this to visitors to the town/area.

Tourism businesses, please do let visitors know if they are looking for guided walks.

See the 'schedule' page for set dates for walks.
And any of the walks can be booked privately on other days of the week too.
See the 'Walks in the Vale' page on the website for descriptions of the 9 walks offered.

Be prepared also that walking speed will vary, so it could be an hour either side of the finish time.
Unlike my other walks, this walk requires a level of fitness which means you can ascend the full 554 metres, and back again.
If you can, it's worth it for the views, and the walk includes a lesser known path after the summit which comes to the outskirts of Llangynhafal and then returns to Ruthin via Bridle Paths, Lanes and the River Clwyd.
See you there 😀
