Local - Pen y Pigyn

On the hillside above Corwen is Pen y Pigyn and its monument, built to commemorate the marriage of Edward, Prince of Wales in 1863.

There are lovely views form the top, you can see the Church of St Mael and St Sulien and you can see COPS. Legend says that the dagger mark in the stone lintel above the south door of the church was made by a dagger thrown by the Welsh hero Owain Glyndwr from Pen y Pigyn! In the woodland, near a lovely waterfall, you can see the Gorsedd stone circle, constructed in 1919 for the druid opening ceremony of the National Eisteddfod. You can continue to walk further up to the reservoir and on to the Berwyn Mountains and Liberty Hall.

Local - Caer Drewyn Hillfort

This scheduled Ancient Monument built between 600BC and 43AD overlooks Corwen town and can be seen from Corwen Old Police Station and Court House.

Unlike most hillforts, Caer Drewyn has walls of stone, rather than the more typical earthen banks and ditches. The fort is composed of a huge rampart with entrances on the north-east and south. Stand and marvel at the size the structure must once have been and admire the views over the valley.

Give yourself 1-2 hours.
