    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.

    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.

    A wonderful place to visit, unspoilt with fabulous views for miles in all directions, site of an Iron Age village from years ago, still with the boundary path showing.

    What a gorgeous view and place to be. Very close to Rhosesmor and mostly quite accessible in the whole area. Lots to explore and look around at. The photos I took show a rain cloud/snow blizzard over the distant hills and it was amazing to watch it move across the panorama!

    Fantastic views, and although a final steep hill, it's still an easy walk.

    Bumpy road, short walk to top, beautiful view over the Wirral, Liverpool, North Wales, not much else!

    Best views around Halkyn. Lovely flat grassed are at the top with the best panoramic views for miles. Would be a nice spot for a picnic if you don't mind the lack of shade!

    Interesting remains of a circular hill fort. No ruins, just the outline of the earthworks defensive wall. Great viewpoint for Wirral, Cheshire and Moel Famau

    Its an old hill fort with views or the mountains of moel famau and on the otherside the riverdee. Amazing place. Suggest a picnic at the top. And you can walk around the outer walls (stone circle around the center). It can get breezy because of the wind of the Irish sea.
