There’s something quite magical about exploring the world on foot, especially in a place like North Wales. When you own a lodge at Bryn Morfydd Lodge Park, some of the country’s most picturesque walking routes are right on your doorstep.

Tucked away just a short 10-minute drive from the Lodge, this peaceful, riverside walk follows the River Clywedog through a quiet valley. Ideal for dog walkers and nature lovers, it's mostly flat and accessible - perfect for a relaxed afternoon stroll, especially in spring or autumn when the colours are most vibrant.
History and scenery come together on this peaceful route around Denbigh Castle. Just a 15-minute drive away, with panoramic views over the Clwydian Range and plenty of open space for kids (and dogs) to roam, this is a great way to stretch your legs and dive into Welsh heritage. The full loop is under 3 miles, which is just enough to work up an appetite for a post-walk pub meal!
The iconic hilltop of Moel Famau, crowned with the remains of the Jubilee Tower, is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the area - and only a 25-minute drive away!
