Visitors to Moel Famau will soon enjoy their own personal guided walk to help them explore the area's fascinating past through the Heather and Hillforts Project.

Using the latest technology, visitors are able to access a new audio tour via their mobile telephones or by downloading the free mp3 version from the internet.

Erin Robinson, Heather and Hillforts Interpretation Officer explained:  "The trail, which will be launched this autumn, will give visitors the opportunity to walk through Moel Famau Country Park up to the Jubilee Tower with a number of experts to hand. The tour includes accounts from archaeologists and nature experts to name but a few and gives visitors the unique chance to be shown around this fascinating area by the people who live in it, work in it and love it.

"We were also able to talk to a gentleman who visited the area from the Wirral as a young Boy Scout in the 1950's and now lives in the area. It is fascinating to hear of his memories, of getting the bus, camping at local farms and walking up to the Jubilee Tower with his friends. It is great that we have been able to record these unique accounts and can now archive them as a first hand oral history account, which otherwise would have been lost."

The trail includes information about the Bronze Age burial mounds, Iron Age hillforts, accounts of how the landscape has been formed and how it has been used and managed by man over thousands of years and also how the area is used today, for recreation, agriculture and conservation.

The interactive heritage trail is a new approach to interpretation of the area that people can access whilst in the countryside through their mobile phones. The audio tour enables the provision of site specific information, without having a visual impact on the setting.

The phone number used for the trail is a local rate number, and calls can be included in visitor's free minutes. The tour will also be available in MP3 and written format on this website, which will also include reconstruction drawings, aerial photographs and videos of the landscape in use, in the coming months.
