## Full walked guides
- [Denbigh Castle & Town Walls](https://explore-wales.com/places/denbigh-castle/): A whole fortified hilltop town — castle, walls, gates and a legend-haunted unfinished cathedral — hiding above a market town that tourism forgot.
- [Dyserth Waterfall & Graig Fawr](https://explore-wales.com/places/dyserth-waterfall/): A proper 20-metre waterfall thundering through the middle of a village, with pocket-money entry and a National Trust limestone knoll above it for the sunset.
- [Foel Fenlli Hillfort](https://explore-wales.com/places/foel-fenlli/): Moel Famau's darker twin: shorter, steeper, older — a 511-metre summit wrapped in Iron Age ramparts you can walk like the wall of a drum.
- [Gop Hill Cairn, Trelawnyd](https://explore-wales.com/places/gop-hill-cairn/): Britain's second-largest prehistoric mound sits above a quiet Flintshire village, and hardly anyone has heard of it. Silbury Hill has a visitor centre; the Gop has sheep.
- [Maen Achwyfan Cross, Whitford](https://explore-wales.com/places/maen-achwyfan-cross/): The tallest wheel cross in Britain has stood in the same Flintshire field corner for a thousand years, carved with Viking-age knots and beasts, visited by almost no one.
- [Moel Famau & the Jubilee Tower](https://explore-wales.com/places/moel-famau/): The Clwydian Range's highest top and North-East Wales' favourite hill — a broad, friendly path to a ruined tower with views from Liverpool to Snowdon.
- [Prestatyn Hillside & the Offa's Dyke gateway](https://explore-wales.com/places/prestatyn-hillside-offas-dyke/): Every long-distance path needs a beginning. The 177-mile Offa's Dyke Path starts (or ends) here — on a limestone hillside where walkers with wet boots and long stories come down to meet the sea.
- [Rhuddlan Castle](https://explore-wales.com/places/rhuddlan-castle/): Edward I liked Rhuddlan so much he moved the river. His diamond-plan castle on the Clwyd is the most underrated of the great Welsh fortresses — and the least crowded.
- [St Winefride's Well, Holywell](https://explore-wales.com/places/st-winefrides-well/): Pilgrims have come to this spring for thirteen centuries without a break — through Reformation, plague and war. The 'Lourdes of Wales' is one of Britain's most remarkable survivals.
- [Talacre Beach & Point of Ayr Lighthouse](https://explore-wales.com/places/talacre-point-of-ayr/): An abandoned Georgian lighthouse standing alone in the sand, dunes full of rare toads, and the biggest winter bird spectacle on the Dee — fifteen minutes from Prestatyn.
- [Moel Famau circular via the Jubilee Tower (with Foel Fenlli extension)](https://explore-wales.com/routes/moel-famau-jubilee-tower-circular/): The definitive first Clwydians walk: up through Clwyd Forest, along the ridge to the Jubilee Tower, and back with the Vale of Clwyd filling the view — plus the hillfort extension that upgrades it from lovely to memorable.
- [The Prestatyn–Dyserth Way](https://explore-wales.com/routes/prestatyn-dyserth-way/): The gentlest outing in this guide: a dead-flat, traffic-free old railway line running below the hillside from Prestatyn to a twenty-metre waterfall. Bring bikes, pushchairs, grandparents — everyone finishes this one.
