Parked as others to the south on forest road. My 200th Dodd.Alan Caine03/06/2023
From large parking area just before bungalow outside Cynwyd: Bryn-llus; Pen Creigiau�r Barcut; Moel Fferna; Cerrig Coediog; Pen y lladron; Moel yr Henfaes. Sweltering day, for which we were ill prepared without sufficient water or suncream. Visited Liberty Hall but omitted the last 2 peaks we planned. Welcome meal at the Blue Lion at the end of the walk.Lazylizzie13/05/2023

1/5 on a Dewey walk from Cynwyd. A clockwise horseshoe around the valley of Afon Trystion visiting Bryn-llus, Pen Creigau’r Barcut, Moel Fferna, Cerrig Coediog, Cefn Perfedd, Moel yr Henfaes [Pen Bwlch Llandrillo Top], Y Drum and Moel yr Henfaes. 22.6km with 1000m ascent in 6h20m. (S)silveracorn_alan13/08/2021
Parked next to the shop in Cynwyd (no restrictions on sundays) and followed the Nuttall route East with a spur up to Liberty Hall to take in Bryn llus, from here I pressed on to Moel Fferna, along the ridge taking in Cerrig Coediog and Cefn Perfedd before arriving at the Nuttall top of Moel yr Henfaes, from here I followed the hills over Y Drum and the Dewey Moel yr Henfaes. If your lucky when striking out for the last top you'll walk over a grassy track heading North East which will take you back to Cynwyd forest albeit having to cross a grazing field at 07959 39525 to access the forest tracks that you follow left back to the car. Fourteen and half mile in Six and quarter hours.WAYNE ROWLETT09/05/2021

Afternoon hike. Really quiet area. Only seen one other person.Ant peters07/09/2020
The 8 summits around Cynwyd Forest anti-clockwise with Rufus. Parked at far end of reservoir and took forest track to open hillside, used a mixture of fences and rough tracks for navigation but plenty of the round is in deep heather. A good logical round for the northern Berwyn and took just over 4 hours at a fast pace - 16km 700m ascent.jacobrichmond01/09/2020

From 360m contour in forest. Id first seen Liberty hall on a map many moons ago. As a young un I had imagined 5his grand gothic mansion stood high on the moors. But alas it was nothing more than a shoot lodge and today its barely discernible from a sheep fold. The walk up is easy though and a fine view from the nearby highpoint.stig_nest15/05/2016
