Walk Description
A mostly flat walk along the River Alyn from Loggerheads to Cilcain.
The whole area is know for it's mines and caves and this is a special walk alongside the river which is mainly fry in the summer due to the number of sinkholes in the riverbed. It is believed that the water sinks into a vast cave system underneath the Alyn valley -- some of which has been found and explored and some of which remains undiscovered. Additionally, the valley was extensively mined for Galena (lead sulphide) from the 1800's and the water from the river repeatedly flooded the mines. Efforts to plug the sinkholes failed and a tunnel was driven from the coastline 15 kilometres away to this very area to drain the mine workings whilst they were active. This tunnel is known as the Milwr tunnel.
The walk takes you past many sinkholes in the Alyn as well as some obvious mines as well as many hidden mine entrances. There are also caves scattered around, mostly small but with two substantial systems running below.
Devil's Gorge is a feature of the walk which sports a huge mine entrance (that does not actually go too far once inside) and also a gorge for climbing and abseiling.
The views are very good in winter when the foliage of the trees is damped with a great view of the Clwydian Range and Moel Famau.

Outdoor Family Fun at Loggerheads Country Park, North Wales
With everything from spotting giant wooden bats hanging in the trees to racing sticks down the river and jumping in muddy puddles, we had a great morning of outdoor family fun at one of our favourite locals outdoor destinations.
A Walk For All Seasons
Take a walk in Loggerheads Country Park, Mold, North Wales.
In the C19th, the area was the site for lead mining, and a leat (artificial waterway) was built to carry water to mines further down the valley. No longer a waterway, the leat or the leete, as it is now known, is part of a lovely walk through the woodland alongside the River Alyn. Take the Ruthin Road (A494) out of Mold and, after a couple of miles, you will see the entrance to the park on your right. Park the car and go to the shop/information centre where you will be able to get a map of the area. I have provided a video slide-show of photos taken on my visits to the park with friends and family at various times of year, interspersed with slides offering some personal reflections and, hopefully, helpful advice. It may be useful to consult the website to find out about events that take place in the park and the surrounding area, so that you can time your visit accordingly. After your walk, you can relax and taste the superb food on offer in Caffi Florence which is near the entrance to the car park and next to the shop. There is also a pub opposite, called We Three Loggerheads, or you can take a picnic to eat on the green outside the cafe. The cafe also has tables outside and will serve food to the picnic tables on the green.
Go on, get out there; whatever the weather, you will have a great day!

We'd love you to describe in detail your favourite walks around the UK.
Whether it's a quiet amble through the local woods, an idyllic stroll down a canal, or an epic trek across peaks and dales. We'd love you to share your route, with clear instructions – where to start and finish, directions and landmarks, how long it takes, and whether there's a pub on the way. We'd also like to know why a walk is special to you.
We will turn our favourite walks into maps for other readers to cut out and keep, which will appear in upcoming issues of the Guardian's monthly Do Something magazine.
