The most beautiful natural sites to discover Denbighshire (Sir Ddinbych)

On the A542, north of Llangollen, the road climbs up the green hillsides to the highest point at Horseshoe Pass (Bwlch yr Oernant in Welsh) at 417 metres above sea level, from where there is a magnificent view over the valley. At the top of the hill is The Ponderosa restaurant, open daily. From the car park, beacons mark the start of a 14km hike to Offa's Dyke Path, through the Dee Valley. It takes about six hours to walk around. We can stop at the restaurant or, in the summer, take the opportunity to have a picnic.

To get there, park at Bwlch-Pen-Barras, on the B5429 from Ruthin. The top of Denbighshire's highest hill can be reached in a leisurely 45-minute walk - a popular spot with walkers (accessible to everyone). Here stand the ruins of the Jubilee Tower, built in 1810 to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of King George III. On a clear day, the view is unobstructed and you can see as far as Liverpool. In autumn, when the heather turns purple, Moel Famau and the Clywd Hills are magnificent.

In a sumptuous castle, built in 1460 by Humphreys family in Anglesey, in the heart of a beautiful park, a part of the collection of paintings from the National Portrait Gallery in London, pieces of furniture from the Victoria & Albert Museum, and sculptures from the Royal Academy of Arts are exhibited in. An irresistible program for art lovers.

Set in 1910, the gardens also promise a great deal of aesthetic pleasure; Very pleasant for picnic in fine weather.
