Cilcain

Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this charming hamlet in the heart of the Clwydian Range has a medieval church with a double nave, a hammerbeam roof and some striking stained glass. Despite its small size, Cilcain has a reputation for culture and is well-known to arts and music lovers for its annual festival. Gwyl Cilcain takes place every October and welcomes both English and Welsh speakers.

Close to Cilcain, the smooth browned slopes of the Clwydian Range ascend from the broad and fertile planes of the Vale of Clwyd, with Moel Famau (The Mother of Mountains) being, at 1820 feet, the range’s highest peak. It is well worth the climb to the summit as not only are there the remains of a Jubilee Tower, started in 1810 to commemorate George III’s Golden Jubilee (later blown down in a storm in 1852), but also the panoramic views are breathtaking. Westwards lies the Vale of Clwyd with the river meandering towards the Irish Sea, while to the east the land rolls gently down to the Dee estuary.
