  1. Mold

    Mold (‘Yr Wyddgrug’) is a bustling market town and the centre of various activities designed to preserve a lifestyle that goes back centuries. Daniel Owen (1836-1895), a most prominent novelist in the Welsh Language, was native to Mold. The town is an ideal centre for short-stay holidays offering visitors touring, mountain walks in the Clwydian Range and a variety of entertainment. The town boasts open-air street markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Mold is famous for its contribution to Welsh culture and this continues today Theatr Clwyd a provincial theatre with a national reputation. The Theatre also hosts the Mold Carnival in June.

     

    Loggerheads, three miles away is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Since its development by Clwyd County Council as a combined Country Park and Visitor Centre it has become a major tourist attraction. Nearby, Moel Fammau, the highest peak in the Clwydian Range (1,820 feet) gives stunning views of six counties from the viewing point on the summit. The wooden paths of the Leete, between Loggerheads and Rhydymwyn, provided inspiration for the composer Mendelssohn.
