Moel y Parc

Moel y Parc is a hill in Flintshire that rises to 398 meters above sea level and forms a natural boundary between Denbighshire and Flintshire counties. The summit sits prominently in the landscape and can be reached by established walking routes.

The summit contains ancient burial mounds and a cairn that show human presence dating back to prehistoric times. These remains suggest the hill has long served as an important landmark and gathering place for the region.

The summit marks a long-standing boundary between the communities of Aberwheeler and Ysceifiog, reflecting divisions that have shaped how local people understand and organize their surroundings.

The summit can be reached by multiple hiking paths, with parking available at designated spots along the Clwydian Range. It is helpful to wear sturdy footwear and bring weather-appropriate clothing, as conditions on the hill can change quickly.

A television transmission mast crowns the summit and serves as a regional broadcasting center visible from many kilometers away across the Welsh landscape. This modern structure makes the location recognizable as both a natural landmark and an important communications hub.
