Prestatyn

This route follows the Offa’s Dyke Path from the station up Prestatyn hillside. The climb is rewarded with fantastic views out to see and across to the Great Orme. After gaining the trig point at Graig Fawr you return via an old railway line which is flat easy walking.

1. From the Train Station follow the Offa’s Dyke path up the High Street, crossing the main road at the traffic lights and continuing to follow the way markers out of the town, steadily heading uphill.
2. When the National Trail leaves the town behind and heads onto Prestatyn Hillside follow it giving excellent views in every direction. After a few kilometres the path descends into the small village of Bryniau where you take the second right and leave the Offa’s Dyke path behind.
3. A short walk along the quiet road leads us to the entrance to the National Trust owned site of Graig Fawr where we make the short climb to the Trig point and take in the views.
4. A fairly steep descent heading round to the right then brings us onto the Dyserth-Prestatyn Way. This follows the path of a disused railway line initially used to serve the mines and quarries of the surrounding hillsides.
5. Follow this flat, easy path all the way back into the town centre where we return to the station.
