3rd of 6 hills visited on a traverse from Mold to Holywell, after Bryn-eithin, I headed along fenceline and into wood to rejoin footpath and followed it over the minor road but then took fp that curves around West to North to rejoin Wats Dyke Way at Rhosesmor and where it enters Open access land I eventually veered off to visit reservoir and then tumulus. Nice area. Continuation to Halkyn mountain...Dazingdale10/02/2024
