A Walk Up Moel Famau With Amazing Views!

[@llangollen4444]

Hi Joss cant think of a better place as Moel Famau for an after work blow out , well maybe Dinas Bran ;) lovely area that beautiful views all around.

[@jossthomas123456]

LLangollen444 thanks matey- I was up the Castle a fortnight ago. Thanks for watching, Joss

[@iaincphotography6051]

Cheers for that Joss, that was the first hill I walked up as a young lad. I lived in Mold for about 18 months as a kid then moved to the other side of Chester about 5 miles out, off the Parkgate road, and from the end of our lane on a clear day, I could see Moel Famau. Little did I realise it was going to be the first of many, happy days. Diolch yn fawr. Cymru am byth.

[@dianesfaves9775]

Thanks for doing this video Joss. I used to be able to see Mole Famu from my bedroom window in Buckley. As a youth I would often walk up it with my dog. I am now an old lady living in Alberta, never thought I would see this place again - thanks :-)

[@jossthomas123456]

Thanks Diane that was a lovely comment to read, Im glad its bought back old memories, its still a great walk! Thanks for watching! All the best, Joss

[@outdoorslifestyle2900]

lovely way to unwind after work mate and certainly makes the most of your time instead of just sitting around vegetating. Beautiful hill too and the skies looked amazing. Thanks for sharing Joss and hope life is treating you well. Steve

I've been going up over the last few Sunday's for a short walk. Great going up at the crack of dawn with few people about. Up the same path and down via the path to the first car park. I live ten to fifteen minutes away, so very lucky. Great videos btw.

We absolutely love Moel Famau and the Clywdians and like you Joss its only a short drive from home to take in the views. Sometimes those places close to home are often the best. TFS pal. ATB Andy

[@johnupton1688]

Joss, love the videos but Moel Famou isn't quiet the highest hill in north east clwyd. the radio mast sited above the ponderosa cafe is higher., not by much but it is higher

[@jossthomas123456]

Hi John, I realised my mistake after publishing my video! Moel Gamelin is also higher. Youre right. With a wider scope across North East Wales, the Berwyns would class as the highest really. Thanks for watching and commenting. All the best, Joss

[@AlanMETALMAN]

Nice when you can get an early finish and head out on a hike, especially on a day like that. Even better when it is just over 30 minutes away from home, real lucky! That must have been some storm that knocked some of the tower down, as it looked a real strong structure when built in 1810. Nice place to have a brew and with a view like that, I would find it difficult to drag myself away, cheers Alan

[@blackdogwildtrails3123]

Would you say Moel Fammau is the highest point in NE Wales then? What about the Berwyns which I've always classed as NE Wales. Moel Ferna for example at over 2000' is only 2 or 3 miles from Corwen as the crow flies. As for the tower. I've heard the storm damage thing before and I don't buy it. How can a storm damage a bloody big solid stone tower?If lighthouses can survive vicious sea storms I'm sure a solid stone tower can. I wonder what the real reason is?

[@jossthomas123456]

Black Dog Vantrails actually after I said it I realised it wasn’t quite right although I would class the others hills as in a slightly different region (Flintshire and Wrexham being the border North Eastern counties and the more English speaking/least Welsh) Having said that, Cadair Bronwen and Cadair Berwyn both have a part of their summit in the outlying edge of Wrexham County (just about) and its always surprised me that the Tourism and Development part of the Council have never cottoned on to this and promoted the county as having access to them, for walks and activities etc. Regards the Tower- I think the story goes that it was never totally completed.. and that the storm damaged parts of it which made it unsafe and therefore what was left standing was dismantled. Would be interested if you find evidence that something else happened..
