Short walk from Rhosesmor. I've done this walk twice in a few days first off to see if it'd be easy enough for the kids which it was. I parked at the Village Hall, which has parking sign posted and took the road up past the church and off to the right. It's reasonably steep but manageable and the views definitely take your mind off the walk. If you get up here on a clear day the views of Flint, Wirral, Liverpool, Chester are incredible and equally the opposite direction of the Welsh Mountains and Hills are amazing as you walk around the circular Fort ruins. It was very windy at the top both visits but easy enough to get behind a slope and out of the wind. I'd definitely recommend this walk.

It's a good but short walk with views for miles up to the North of England, with Blackpool tower and the Penines visible on a clear day. Most of the earthworks are still very clear on the side of the hill with a clearly visible rampart you can walk the whole way around at the top. There's a lot of gorse bushes which can impede where you can go and even obstruct the view of the site, but not so much as to make it not worth a visit. It's a good place to take a dog for a walk but be aware there are a lot of sheep free roaming in the area and during spring there are a lot of lambs and pregnant ewes so you may need to keep your dog on a lead.

A lovely walk with the kids. Steep in places, but enjoyable. The views across the Clwydians are breathtaking. It was half-term and only a handful of people in sight. The village hall was open to change the baby, feed the baby, toilet for the six year old and lunch. Parked in the car park, took the immediate right and then right again onto the Offa Wat’s path. The views are really something else.
