| UK: Wales: Wrexham: Upper Ceiriog Trail |
This is a 14 mile (23km) trail, with shorter options, for competent
horse riders. It can also be used by mountain bikers and walkers.
Much of the terrain is rugged and exposed. The weather can change
suddenly. The route generally follows the high ground which encloses
the deeply cut Ceiriog Valley. Rising to 1500ft (457m) the landscape
is varied and the views are superb. Wildlife is plentiful and humans
are few!
A leaflet has been produced by the Chirk and Ceiriog Valley
Partnership and the Wrexham and District Bridleways Association.
Copies of The Ceiriog Trail and The Upper Ceiriog Trail
