Erddig Hall and Country Park

Erddig Walk 1: A short walk from Felin Puleston.

Weir River ClywedogThis short walk takes about 25 minutes. Park in the Felin Puleston car park. Go through the gate at the side of the cottage (this is all that is left of Felin Puleston village) and follow the path through the field then turn left and go over the wooden bridge. Looking to your left you will see the weir on the River Clywedog. The bridge is a good place to look for trout that thrive in the clean, fast flowing river.

Turn right by the bench and walk to the next gate past the Sensory Garden which will be to your left. Just before the gate you will see the large millstone. This and the weir are all that remain of Felin Puleston Mill.

MillwheelGo through the gate and follow the path alongside the river.

Carry on to the next gate and turn right into Coed-y-Glyn Wood, still following the path of the river.

Coed-y-Glyn Wood is a haven for wildlife including badgers, foxes, owls and kestrels. There are also many old trees, mainly oak and beech, but also some more unusual species such as field maple and hornbeam. Trees can be roughly dated by the size of their girth as it will grow approximately 1.25cm per year. The variety of trees, shrubs, ferns and flowers, and the plentiful supply of nuts, seeds and berries make it a haven for many birds, insects, mice and voles.

Keep going through wood until you reach the gate that brings you onto Erddig Road. Turn right and follow the road to the bridge.

Cross the bridge and turn right then just walk straight on, following the path through the next three gates, which will bring you back to the car park.
