  • Penycloddiau Iron age hill fort - WelshBloke Walking
    Today we are taking a walk up Penycloddiau in North Wales. Penycloddiau is the largest hillfort on the Bryniau Clwyd (Clwydian Range), and one of the largest in Wales, enclosing an area of 21 hectares.
    It has multiple concentric ditches plus extensive ramparts to the north and northwest,
    Evidence has also been found of roundhouses throughout the hillfort, a possible enclosure, and central ponds which might have provided the inhabitants with water.

    Another great video as always! I do love that you include interesting history with your walks. Pity you couldn't quite see Caerwys from up there. The out-takes gave me a good chuckle at the end! Very funny! Thanks for sharing with us Will. Diolch.

    Thank you for doing these. I look forward to each video. It's very cool to see how near everything is in that part of the world. Loved the summit view into Liverpool. It's fun listening for Welsh words from my Duolingo lessons.

    My local hill - I can be at the summit in an hour and a quarter from home, and I get up there every month or two. I come from the north though, not via Coed Llangwyfan (unless I’m feeling lazy and drive up to the car park). It’s a shame the visibility wasn’t better for you, because the view of Eryri is fantastic on a clear day.

    Well Will, I started with a translation for chicken, now I'm walking up hills. Better get back to what I was doing but thought a "well done and keep going" would help before I go. Diolch Will
