Frequently Asked Questions

• Is Moel Famau Circular from Loggerheads Country Park dog friendly?

  Moel Famau rates 9 out of 10 for dog friendliness, making it a great choice for a day out with your dog. Loggerheads Country Park has parking, a visitor centre, and a café that welcomes dogs outside, so you're well set up from the start.

• Can dogs be off lead at Moel Famau Circular from Loggerheads Country Park?

  Off-lead potential is limited on the lower sections of the route, where livestock grazes the fields between Loggerheads and the open hill, so keep dogs on leads through those areas. Once you're up on the open hillside, there's more freedom, though it's worth staying mindful near the summit ridge where the ground drops away on the western side.

• What should I know before visiting Moel Famau Circular from Loggerheads Country Park with my dog?

  This is a proper 8km climb with 493 metres of ascent, so it suits active dogs that are comfortable with a mix of woodland and open hill terrain. The River Alyn in the valley provides natural water access on the way up, which is handy on warmer days. The upper hillside is exposed and can get very windy, especially in winter, so pack an extra layer for yourself and consider your dog's needs in cold conditions too.
