Connect Ruthin with Slow Ways
We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks
more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Ruthin to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Slow Ways linking Ruthin and Corwen, Denbigh, Llangollen, Mold, Pentrefoelas

Ruthin’s five Slow Ways are 40% checked
Help connect Ruthin
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Ruthin’s Slow Ways.

NB the far right corner of this field (not very obvious to me at least) allows you pass to the adjacent farm (of Bwlch-y-llyn?) Upon exiting this field you follow the sealed round down to the left (again very few cars) until a walking path sign directs you off to the right. From here, on the road once more (no cars) until taking the walking path off to the left. From here the route heads out along the main road and eventually back on a walking path that takes us around the ridge (more lovely views, running parallel to the road at times). Crossing the main road and through a farm, the route follows the fence line up (and up)....

An improved route for RUTMOL 2 (which crossed private land near Plas Hafod Hotel, near Mold); In Jan 2023 NRW cleared path along SE edge of Clwyd Forest- still rough and not waymarked, but now useable; at NE corner of forest there is clear sloping diagonal path (avoids very steep section) and stile into field to avoid house garden....

Note: suggested route at Plas Hafod Hotel (above Hendy and Hafod roads Mold) goes through PRIVATE GROUND-NO PUBLIC PATH. Use RUTMOL 1 instead - path further north....

4) Just off Cadole-Gweraffield road, passed Deborah’s Well – marked path post has faint writing, take right (for Loggerheads - other sign says straight for Cadole) .. immediately after which path is very rocky underfoot and tree roots, maybe for 30-40Mtrs, coukld be slip hazard in wet / Winter. 5) Heading down to Loggerheads, from top of escarpment, option to take the Left where path forks down rocky thin path which has steep drop to right, passable with care down face of escarpment, but extra caution or avoid if wet Alternative is take path straight on for longer way down using safer steps....
This route works with a couple of small modifications shown below, it includes quite a lot of obstacles making it non navigable on wheels., and you need to be fit enough to hop over plenty of stiles. A slightly revised route has been uploaded taking in this change a few other small tweaks to avoid a few barriers and include the walk past facilities in Loggerheads (cafe and loos)....
