South Street, Caerwys Although only really a village, Caerwys proudly claims itself to be the smallest town in Great Britain with a royal charter - and indeed it does have a town council and its own mayor.

Footpath to Afon Wen On Access Land northeast of Moel y Parc, there are a plethora of footpaths, some far better-defined than others. This is the main one heading from the summit, across the moor and eventually down to Afon Wen. Not far beyond the limit of vision in this photo, the path meets the access land boundary on the right, where a part of it turns right and becomes not just a footpath but a public footpath, ie. a right of way under the 1949 Countryside Act, rather than the more recent CROW act which established the right to roam across the summit area.

Moel y Parc cairn Shunned by walkers on the Offa's Dyke Long Distance Footpath, Moel y Parc is the northernmost summit of this long section of ridge. The cairn seen here is on the spot marked as a tumulus on the map, so I presume that the green grassy mound is ancient, though the cairn itself looks modern. The path seen on the left heads down to the southwest to cross a well-defined bridleway at a minor col, and either direction at this junction will take one back to the Offa's Dyle and Clwydian Way routes as they head down into the Wheeler valley.
