Photo Of View From Top Of Moel Findeg

The Clywidian range AONB manages the reserve in partnership with the Friends of Moel Findeg and lots of help from volunteers.

The short walk to the top is rewarded by some of the finest views in Denbighshire. Narrow winding pathways lead through delightful birch woodland and out on to open heath.

Views stretch out across the Alyn Valley to the summit of Moel Famau. To the east there are uninterrupted views across Flintshire stretching as far as Merseyside and the Cheshire Plain. The summit itself, known as the Bishop’s Chair, is owned by a local farmer but a permissive footpath leads across.

The heathland is also managed with the help of a herd of conservation grazing ponies, originally from the Carneddau, northern Snowdonia. The semi-feral ponies do well on difficult terrain and help graze the more dominant species to allow the heathland species to thrive.
