Explore the earth turfed ramparts, curved entrances of these Roman marching camps whilst taking in the lofty views of the National Park.To hear first hand experiences of life on campaign and to see reconstructions of Romans camps we recommend you download the free 'Roman walk' App via WiFi from our website before you visit or directly from App store or Google Play. How do I get there Please refer to the website for detailed directions and public transport options. Distance/TerrainThe total length of the route is 4 miles/6.5 km (return). You will start out along a track, which can be very wet at any time of year, and will also venture off road and across and boggy moorland – waterproof footwear with a good grip is recommended. The route is fairly flat with one short climb up to the summit of the Marching camp (the highest point) at 412 m/1352 ft.WeatherEven when it’s dry and warm when you set out, weather conditions can change quickly in the hills and become wet and cold. Be sure to look at the checklist on the App when packing your packs. Mobile signalYou can’t reply on getting mobile phone coverage along the route.

Really picturesque place, lovely woodland walk up to the village with a barefoot walk & babbling brook. Knowledgeable staff & lovely tea room. Some parts were closed due to improvements & covid 19 but it didn't spoil our trip.

We visited here on our little staycation recently and we really enjoyed. It is an artillery range so check the website before visiting as its closed when active for obvious reasons. Free carpark with a small icecream van but no toilet facilities. Not far at all from carpark to the steep steps down to the Chapel. So worth the climb down. It may be difficult for people with walking difficulties. Wear sturdy shoes too. On a wet day I'd imagine the steps could get slippy. We were lucky that day. Once your through the little chapel you can walk about a bit ,climb on the rocks, take some amazing pictures etc. We then climbed back up and had a lovely walk along the cliffs. There was someone actually climbing that day. Amazing! Well worth a visit.

10. Denbigh Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 216 reviews
Denbigh’s finest feature is its striking triple-towered great gatehouse. Want to get a historian really excited? Mention Denbigh’s triple-towered great gatehouse. Probably one of the seven wonders of Wales. We think you’ll agree. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

The castle sits proudly at the top of the town and is easily accessible on foot. Book your tickets in advance, only £2 a person. Friendly staff at the entrance and covid secure protocols are in place. Lovely to walk around with information boards to explain different parts of the castle and stunning views of the local area. There is also a little cafe/gift shop. Well worth it!
