Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography

David is an experienced walker with a love of the countryside and an interest in local history. He is the author of a series of Kittiwake walks guidebooks covering North Wales, where he has lived and worked for many years. Whether on a riverside ramble or mountain walk he greatly appreciates the beauty, culture and history of the landscape and hopes that his comprehensive guidebooks will encourage people to explore on foot its diverse scenery and rich heritage. He has undertaken many long distance walks, including coast-to-coast crossings of England, Scotland and Wales. Perhaps the most challenging was a continuous mountain walk the length of Wales from the Gower to Snowdonia, which raised money for the British Heart Foundation, undertaken in a corset having being diagnosed with a slipped disc a a few days prior to the start! Recently he has put this considerable experience to good use by devising two long distance walking trails in North Wales - the Dee Way and the Conwy Valley Way. He has worked for years as a freelance writer for the Walking Wales magazine, contributing articles of interest and walks for this excellent publication. He has also undertaken contract work for a specialist environmental consultancy firm as a Rights of Way surveyor and was a key member of the core survey team involved in the Wales National RoW Condition Survey commissioned by the Countryside Council for Wales in 2002. His task was to survey RoW'S in randomly selected target squares across a substantial area of North Wales using pioneering high tech equipment. This RoW surveying work combined with his years of researching routes for his guidebooks has given him an extensive knowledge of the RoW network across North Wales. He served as a member of Denbighshire Local Access Forum (2002-7) - a statutory body empowered to advise the local authority and other organisations on the new legal right of public access to defined areas of land and on improvements to RoW's under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. He is a member of the Ramblers and a lifetime member of the National Trust. He has occasionally led walks and offered specialist advice to tourist bodies. More recently he has shared his passion for walking by giving talks to small groups and organisations. Despite all these other endeavours he is probably at his happiest with boots on his feet and a rucksack on his back!

Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

The Clwydian Range is a chain of undulating hills running between the Vale of Clwyd and foothills of the Dee Estuary in North East Wales. The Range runs south for 22 miles from Prestatyn and the coast to Nant y Garth pass and Llandegla. At its centre is Moel Famau, with its distinctive ruined Jubilee Tower – a landmark for miles around. In 1985 it was designated an Area of Outstanding Natural beauty and in 2011 it became part of an extended Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB. Lying within it are Loggerheads and Moel Famau Country Parks. The Clwydian Range offers a diversity of high quality landscape scenery, including heather moorland, open green hills, limestone crags, woodland, river valleys, and rolling farmland. It also contains many important historical and archaeological sites from pre-historic times to the more recent industrial age. Most notable are the six impressive Iron-Age hill forts, one of the highest concentration in Western Europe. It is a superb walking area offering panoramic views. Running through the full length of the Range is one of the most scenic sections of the Offa’s Dyke Path National Trail. This revised third edition of this book explores its diverse scenery and rich heritage, incorporating the Offa’s Dyke Path from Prestatyn hillside to Llandegla.
