Eglwyseg, Rock formation in Denbighshire, United Kingdom
The Eglwyseg rock formation extends for 7.2 kilometers along a limestone escarpment, reaching heights of 513 meters at Mynydd Eglwyseg point.
The area contains Bronze Age burial mounds and agricultural lynchets, while limestone quarrying and lead mining operations marked its industrial past.
The name Eglwysegl stems from Latin ecclesicula, indicating the previous existence of a small church that was marked on 17th-century maps.
The site features 800 climbing routes and connects to the Offa's Dyke Path, with a car park at grid reference SJ231483 open from 8am to 8pm.
The cliffs shelter rare plant species including the Whitebeam Sorbus anglica and Welsh Hawkweed, contributing to its designation as a Special Scientific Interest Site.
