"I genuinely do not see the appeal. It is a longish walk if you fancy some exercise but other than the calories burnt I would not recommend this ‘attraction’.
"The views are nothing inspirational, just houses and farms, it was cold as you would expect, toilets were very dirty, there are almost zero waste bins for any food waste you may have.
"Honestly, I would not recommend Moel Famau, it is very isolated, you must pay for parking, area is boring, not worth the time."
