Nant Y Pandy Walk
This walk takes you along the delightful Nant Y Pandy in the village of Glyndyfrdwy, Denbighshire.
There are footpaths heading south from the village along the scenic little river. It's a lovely spot with the woooded gorge of the peaceful river and the ruins of the old mill to see on the way. There's also great views of the surrounding countryside of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB. A cycle trail runs just to the east of the walking paths as well.
The trail can then be followed into the Ceiriog Forest and the neighbouring settlement of Glyn Ceiriog. Here you can enjoy more riverside walks along the Upper Ceiriog Trail and the Llwybr Ceiriog Trail.

Nant y Pandy
Nant y Pandy stream below the mill
The ruins of Nant y Pandy Mill. The mill was sited here in 1870 to process slate slabs from the Deeside and Moel Fferna Quarries. The reason for its location away from the quarries was the presence of plentiful water power. The mill operated until the early 1920s, although by then Moel Fferna Quarry had had its own on-site mill since 1911. The Nant y Pandy site had a number of buildings and structures - a mill, a 40' water wheel, a forge, an office and stables.
The tramway track to Nant y Pandy Mill. The track on the right is the Cwm Canol farm road which links with the mountain road.
The breached dam of the former Nant y Pandy mill reservoir. Water from this reservoir was used to work the water wheel which powered the mill.
Signpost and woodland. Denbighshire County Council has made an excellent job of waymarking paths in this area and also has provided interpretation boards on the Nant y Pandy slate mill site.
