world. At the present time, there are said to be geocaches placed

Clwydian Range
You won't be surprised to learn, this is an Area of Outstanding
Natural Beauty. Or AONB for short. One of only five in the whole of
Wales.
As the name suggests, this 35-kilometre chain of heather-clad
hills and limestone cliffs is certainly outstanding. And it's
incomparably beautiful.
Moel Famau is the highest point of the Clwydian Range. The
range, really a very large country park, attracts 200,000 visitors
a year. Including hundreds on a single evening last year to mark
the bicentenary of the Jubilee Tower - one of the icons of the
North Wales Borderlands.
Started in 1810 to mark the golden jubilee of "mad! King George
III, the now-ruined tower perches right on top of the mountain. You
can imagine the views from 554 metres up. You've guessed it -
they're outstanding, natural and beautiful.
Offa's Dyke
Offa's
Dyke National Trail passes through the Clwydian Range on an
epic 177-mile journey from Sedbury Cliffs near Chepstow to
Prestatyn. Where you can dip your aching feet in the Irish Sea.
Wat's Dyke
Shorter and less famous than the earthworks of Offa - but even
older. Wat's Dyke Way
follows the handiwork of a sixth-century trailblazer all the way
from Shropshire to Basingwerk Abbey at Holywell.
Ceiriog Valley
Lloyd George called the Ceiriog
Valley "a little piece of heaven on earth". And it hasn't
changed. You'll still hear Welsh spoken and see farmers working
their sheepdogs. The walking, horse riding and fishing are
heavenly, too.
Coed Llandegla Forest
No wonder Coed Llandegla
Forest covers 650 acres. It has a lot to pack in. Mountain
biking routes for all abilities. Half the Welsh population of black
grouse. And an eco-friendly cafe serving officially Britain's best
bacon baps.
