Penycloddiau Iron age hill fort - WelshBloke Walking

Penycloddiau Iron age hill fort - WelshBloke Walking
Today we are taking a walk up Penycloddiau in North Wales. Penycloddiau is the largest hillfort on the Bryniau Clwyd (Clwydian Range), and one of the largest in Wales, enclosing an area of 21 hectares.
It has multiple concentric ditches plus extensive ramparts to the north and northwest,
Evidence has also been found of roundhouses throughout the hillfort, a possible enclosure, and central ponds which might have provided the inhabitants with water.

    My local hill - I can be at the summit in an hour and a quarter from home, and I get up there every month or two. I come from the north though, not via Coed Llangwyfan (unless I’m feeling lazy and drive up to the car park). It’s a shame the visibility wasn’t better for you, because the view of Eryri is fantastic on a clear day.
