Sustainable Denbighshire walks guide launched

A new series of Denbighshire walks are encouraging walkers to try out more sustainable routes

Produced by Denbighshire County Council Tourism Department, the newly published ‘8 Sustainable Walks: Discover Denbighshire by Bus’, has been developed to help keen walkers leave their cars at home to discover more of the county’s sights and sounds.

The walks were created by Julie Brominicks with the county’s bus services in mind. Julie was an educator at the Centre for Alternative Technology near Machynlleth. Her book The Edge of Cymru, published by Seren Books, is the story of her walk around Wales in the course of a year. Her work is also regularly published in the BBC Countryfile magazine.

Arranged in order with the shortest first, each with its own map, they’re accompanied by Julie’s descriptions.

The walks take in some of the most picturesque areas including the including the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Llangollen Canal World Heritage Site. They also start and finish near a bus stop, so walkers can leave the car at home.

Councillor Jason McLellan, Leader of the Council and Lead Member for Economic Growth & Tackling Deprivation said:

“Denbighshire is a fantastic walking destination for both residents and visitors alike. We have stunning varied scenery to walk through to relax and soak in the views.

“It’s great that this new series of walks helps you relax even more by taking away the stress of driving and parking and it fits in so well with how we are working to improve the county’s environment.”
