enthusiasts will find that the Sports Centre and Swimming Pool can provide
a wide variety of activities and Crown Green Bowling devotees can enjoy
a game in the Town Park or step back in time and play on the Bailey
Hill Green situated on the Plateau of the Bailey.
Mold is also famous for its contribution
to Welsh culture. Today the town continues its strong cultural tradition
through Theatr Clwyd which is a provincial theatre with a national
reputation. Theatr Clwyd also hosts the Mold Carnival in
June. This is a huge extravaganza of fun and entertainment.
Mold is an ideal centre to stay whilst
touring the spectacular beauty spots in the area.
Loggerheads, three miles from Mold on the
A494, is an area of outstanding natural beauty and has been popular with
visitors for over 70 years. Since its acquisition and promotion by Clwyd
County Council as a Country Park and Visitor Centre the area has become a
major tourist attraction.
Turn right off the A494 just past
Loggerheads and this narrow forest road leads to Moel Fammau which is the
highest peak in the Clwydian Range (1,820 feet) and a magnificent view of
six counties can be enjoyed from the viewing point on the summit.
A pleasant afternoon can be spent walking
along the wooden paths of the Leete between Loggerheads and Rhydymwyn.
This area provided inspiration for the composer Mendelssohn.
Mold has something to offer all ages and
its unique attraction is that it successfully combines a modern shopping
centre with its street markets while retaining its fascinating old world
charm.
