'Mold' boundary stone and a rivet bench mark

This old boundary stone has the name 'MOLD' on the dressed face, but the back of the stone is just rough cut. A rivet bench mark has been cut into the top edge of the stone and this is recorded on the 1878 O.S. map levelled at 804.8 feet. This stone is very close to the popular viewing area high above Loggerheads, but is about three metres off the track - see SJ1962 : Track to Loggerheads viewing point. Another similar boundary stone, without a bench mark, is adjacent to the track, and is more obvious, about 50 metres east of this one. Milestone Society National ID: FLT_MOLD03pb

Parc Gwledig Loggerheads Country Park

This track through Loggerheads Country Park is high above the River Alyn and links up with Cefn Bychan Road. The woodland in the park is managed and work is carried out between November and March. Cut timber is left to decay naturally providing habitat for all sorts of creatures.
