Moss Lane Cottage

Maelor Way

Spans 39km across the Maelor region with gently undulating terrain and occasional farmland inclines. The full route is too long for young families in one go, but individual sections work well for older children; parts may be muddy and unsuitable for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers peaceful countryside walking through historic Welsh border landscapes, connecting small villages and revealing the area's agricultural heritage and quiet rural charm.

Dee Way

Follows the River Dee for roughly 130km from its source in Snowdonia to the Irish Sea at Wirral, crossing Wales and England through varied terrain from moorland to meadows and coastal marshland. Expect moderate to challenging sections with some steep climbs in the uplands, easing to flat riverside paths further downstream. Suitable for experienced family walkers in stages, but lengthy stretches between facilities and boggy ground make it unsuitable for buggies or very young children. Dogs welcom
