About

Loggerheads Country Park with its beautiful wooded river valley, dramatic cliffs and outcrops is great for a short stroll or an ideal place to start exploring the Clwydian Range. It has a well marked Discovery Trail and easily accessible pathways around the park and to the hills and valleys beyond. Loggerheads was an important lead mining area and evidence of this industrial past still remains partially hidden within this beautiful woodland. The left path follows the line of the old water course built to carry water for the mining operations - following the whole length of the Alyn Valley and often perched high on the steep cliffs. Many activities take place in and around Loggerheads Country Park, from abseiling in Devil's Gorge (see Activities and Services) to family activities, guided walks and practical tasks. The free booklet 'Out and About in Denbighshire's Countryside' has details of events throughout the year - Easter Egg Hunts, Meet the Ancestors at Sunset, Dry stone walling, and much more. Contact the Country Park for the booklet or further information. The Countryside Centre is an ideal place to gather information about the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is open every day throughout the Summer and weekends in Winter.
