    Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Annual Report 2017-18 Description of Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB The Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty forms the dramatic upland frontier in North East Wales. This AONB almost touches the coast at Prestatyn Hillside in the north and stretches south as far Moel Fferna, in the Berwyn Mountains, Moel Fferna is the highest point in the AONB at 630 metres. The AONB covers 390 square kilometres of windswept hilltops, heather moorland, limestone crags and wooded valleys. The Clwydian Range is an unmistakeable chain of purple heather-clad summits, topped by a cluster of strikingly situated Iron Age hillforts. The Range’s highest hill at 554 metres is Moel Famau, a familiar icon to residents of the North West. The historic Jubilee Tower sits on the summit of this hill with views over 11 counties.
