Today, Rhun Jones Senior Warden for South Denbighshire, Fiona and I met 57 pupils from Ysgol Y Llys to walk the same route. The weather was still misty, but we could see little bits of the Vale of Clwyd peeping through the clouds as we walked along Offa’s Dyke Path to the tower. We had a great view of Moel y Gaer Llanbedr and the school told us about what they had learned about the Iron Age when they studied The Celts. We stopped a little further up to look at the heather cuts and talk about Black Grouse and all of the reasons we manage the moorland.

We stopped for lunch at the tower and were once again joined by our new friend the partridge, who we have now christened ‘Alan’.

We walked back to the coach through Coed Moel Famau and had a rest to talk about Skylarks at the House for a Grouse area.
The school had a photograph further down the path when we reached the large wooden interpretative Black Grouse before descending down to the car park where the coach was waiting for the journey back to Prestatyn.
