Direct route up and back from the main car park on a very windy spring evening with R and T. A little light rain and a rainbow when we were up the top. I took a slight short cut on the way back, going over rather than round the final hill. | clyoung | 07/04/2024 |
Moel Arthur cp and back. | Flatfield | 16/03/2024 |
Parked in the main car park. Two paths are offered, one more strenuous than the other. Very cloudy and windy day, occasional gaps in cloud offering great westward views to Eryri. | flynn | 04/02/2024 |

Parked at main car park for Moel Famau, £2 for 4hrs and £5 all day, very reasonable. Ascended Foel Fenlli first directly, then up Moel Famau via the tourist gravel Path back the same way. Horrible tower thing on top. Shame it was so hazy as the views would have been decent. 
Dry though, 2hrs for the whole walk. | chillyman8 | 17/09/2023 |

Moel Famau and Foel Fenlli from Bwlch Pen Barres. | Mark Jackson | 28/08/2022 |
Parked at Bwlch Penbarra car park (only £1.50 for the whole day). Firstly popped to the top of Foel Fenlli, before returning to the car to collect my rucksack for the longer journey north over Moel Famau, Moel Dywyll, Moel Llys-y-coed, then a big descent and ascent to Moel Arthur, and Moel Plas-yw. As no car to collect me, I had to walk south back along the ridge to Bwlch Panbarra. Mainly on Offa's Dyke trail with many people in glorious sunshine and a refreshing breeze. 21km with 1040m ascent in 6 hours. | silverwolf_alan | 07/08/2022 |

Bwlch Penbarra car park is essentially an 'honesty box' car park. There are no prominent signs showing a parking fee, or a penalty for not paying. The 2 remaining machines are out of the way, unsigned. The council clearly knows that any parking ticket could be contested and they would lose. Like a lot of other rural car parks, inc. some Nat Trust CPs! Pleasant walks up both hills | henryfm | 23/08/2019 |

The no. 76 bus from Llanbedr to Llangwyfan allows a fabulous linear walk taking in 4 Marilyns: Penycloddiau, Moel Famau, Foel Fenlli and Moel Gyw. Mainly easy going on the Offa's Dyke path, with a few steep deviations onto the summits. Superb views and wonderful little hills. Penycloddiau can be accessed via a steep, faint path off the Clywdian Way above Fron-gelyn, just past a massive iron tank. (The paths marked on the OS map do not exist). Coastguard helicopter rescuing fallen walker on the way up MF, then several dozen school kids at the top! | Gill | 14/10/2016 |

Continuation of walk from Moel Dywyll, along Offa's Dyke path. Summit very busy, full of people enjoying a sunny, warm autumn day. With JT and HT. | Sprog | 02/10/2016 |
The difficult scramble up the rocky section near the summit was tough going but it was well worth it to see the spectacular views. We had 3 kids with us and they managed fine. | mattfarmer561 | 24/09/2016 |

Took a while to get to this one despite trying to park a little higher up the hill. It was very hot and this seemed to slow me down even further. All worth it for stunning views and an interesting monument at the top plus a Poke gym which kept Mr U2 amused for a while whilst I got my breath back! | thejackrustles | 05/08/2016 |

Stayed at The Golden Lion at Llangynhafal with Kathryn. Took what I though was a short cut from the pub straight on to the hills but ended up covering a lot of the same ground that we had walked the day before! Was a hot day and had overestimated the miles we were hoping to do so my daughter who was staying in the area gave us a lift to Castle mill. Ended up only walking 6 miles today due to the terrain and the heat! | Suzyj | 10/07/2015 |
With Minnie, Parked at 172 647 straight up Clwydian Way & back, easy up & down, pleasant scenery. longer walk planned but cloud/heavy rain meant no views so made it a there & back walk. | apricorum | 07/07/2015 |

Then up to the busy ruined tower which crowns the top. Returned south along Offa's Dyke. Just over 6 miles. Forecast was for heavy rain all day, there were just a few spots all day.

Climbed as part of Offas dyke trail. Sunshine in the valley But became quite blustery with showers as i got to the top. I was impressed with the condition of the approach path (from the North). I sheltered with two other guys who were telling me about the time they did the Offas dyke trail in 4 days for help the heroes. Amazing! After 15 mins the shower had passed and i continued; destination Llandegla. | Dazingdale | 28/10/2013 |
