Continuation of walk from Penycloddiau. Took Offa's Dyke path NNW to bwlch, then up by permissive path and then access land to the top. The trig point is situated in pasture over barbed wire fence, not on access land. Stunning views on clear evening to Lakeland Fells, Isle of Man and Snowdonia from the cairn. Returned to bwlch and took Clwydian Way south and forest track back to car park on bwlch between Penycloddiau and Moel Arthur.Man of Kernow121/05/2014
Climbed to cairn via signposted path off Offas dyke en-route to accommodation in Afon-wen. I Couldnt see how to get to trig point as it lay beyond the wire fence so i climbed over. This hill has two faces. The cairn side is beautiful and atmospheric whereas the highest point lies in a grassy Area dominated by the transmitter.Dazingdale27/10/2013
