Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape
Clwydian Range and Dee Valley is the dramatic upland frontier of North Wales, embracing some of the UK’s most wonderful landscapes. The Clwydian Range is an unmistakable chain of purple heather-clad summits, topped by Britain’s most dramatically situated hillforts. Beyond the windswept Horseshoe Pass, over Llantysilio mountain, lies the glorious Dee Valley with the historic towns of Llangollen and Corwen, rich in cultural and industrial heritage.
