STOP PRESS: The first & second of our new leaflets are ready to test! Check out Walk Two - Woods, Buffalo and Hill Forts and Walk Three - Limekilns and Quarries now!
 As you know we produced our first walk leaflets with very welcome help from The Ramblers Association (Holywell Ramblers), , Walkabout Flintshire and other groups to help you take your own self-guided walks on Halkyn Mountain. The first leaflet is available now so press the image to the right to see our first route which is a circular walk of up to 5.75 miles in PDF format. This walk gained the prestigous title of one of the top ten walks in the UK with MyFavouritePubWalks.com !

One of the interesting things about these walks is that they share the common feature of the Hill Fort of Moel-y-Gaer. This provides the option to string more than one walk together, for intance, Walk Two + Walk Three is about 12 miles as they share a part of the route in common. Each of the maps will be to scale and list as much inforation as we can of the flora, fauna, geology and anything else we can find of interest.
We have lots of ideas for other walks and the exciting prospect of providing postcards and prints of features, sights and views found on the walks.We've five prints for sale in the pub at the moment.
Watch this space! In the meantime, the maps are available by clicking he icons if you click READ MORE, we'll add the basic text and bird lists as soon as we can. We'll also try to include as much of interest as we can & make the leaflets available online & in hardcopy from the Blue Bell Inn.
