The AONB stretches from its northern edge at Prestatyn, down the spine of Flintshire and Denbighshire to the outskirts of Ruthin and Mold, taking in numerous countryside communities that all add a unique quality to the Clwydian Range. The hills can be seen from far and wide, from the North West of Wales and from the Cheshire Plains and the populated areas of Wirral and Merseyside. It’s not a surprise that over half a million of visitors make the journey to the Clwydian Range for that special day out or a holiday in one of Wales’ most naturally scenic areas. There are many organisations involved in managing and protecting the Clwydian Range for future generations. The hills are steeped in history, rich geology and wildlife which needs protecting. This cannot be done without the support of local landowners, businesses, visitors and volunteers. So what is there to do and see in the Clwydian Range? For a start there are country parks at Loggerheads and Moel Famau that offer miles upon miles of interesting walks, activities for the whole family and contents opportunities for volunteering.

    Friends of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Newsletter 2 April 2016 Friends of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley - Newsletter No.2 April 2016 Chairman’s Letter Dear Member Our aim is to make our Newsletters easy to digest, with short articles about matters of interest to our members! Having said that, I cannot resist bringing to your attention Article 5 of the European Landscape Convention, which I saw for the first time the other day. It says “Each party (ie the UK) undertakes to recognize landscapes in law as an essential component of people’s surroundings, an expression of the diversity of their shared cultural and natural heritage, and a foundation of their identity.” Pretty dense language, but if you read it carefully, don’t you agree that it sums up exactly what our little Society is all about? The landscape of our AONB is our cultural and natural heritage, and we like to be identified with it. Couldn’t put it better myself. On a more practical level, we need a few more committee members, or Friends of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Newsletter 2 April 2016 Trustees. If you share our enthusiasm for the AONB, do consider getting in touch with me.
