Description

Walk across fields between villages with pubs before climbing to a small section of Offa's Dyke path over Cefn Du (268m). Some zig-zagging on approach to Caerwys to avoid using A541 (no pavement or even verge at that point). Finishes with a climb into Caerwys with views of Moel y Parc behind

Surveys

We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.

Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.

Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

Mostly a good route, but the section around Coed Cochion has changed so much, and some footpaths don't seem to exist at all.

The new and improved version StaCae Two is much better and shows how it is on the ground, so go with that one instead.

This route didn't work due to a short section that didn't exist on the ground, but we walked Stacae two which was the same except for that bit, and a nice four-star route.
