Moel Famau, Mold

One of my favourite places to go for a walk, me and my dog come here about once a month. There are a few different trails, the most popular being the purple 'Jubilee' route to the summit and tower, which is a ~6km circular trail. This route has diversions to make it steep or easier. (The former of which gets pretty steep!) There are also some low-level, flatter walks. We tried the longer 11km, blue 'Ffrith' route last weekend. It's much quieter than the Jubilee route and the start - winding through the forest - is lovely. This route brings you to the back of the summit, with a very steep climb to the top. The views from the top (~550m altitude) are spectacular on a clear day and definitely worth getting up there for, whichever route you take. (If you come in August, the purple heather is in bloom and looks lovely all over the hills.) The car parks have recently been upgraded from coin-operated machines and now have ANPR pay-as-you-exit systems, which take card payments.

Great walk, lovely views, good carpark, sculptures by Tom, only let down by the few dog walkers who can't be bothered to pick up after there pet. Otherwise great place to visit
