Enjoying Denbighshire’s Natural Landscape safely

Advice on how to enjoy the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape and Loggerheads Country Park Safely

The first week of January has been particularly busy on Moelfamau and in Loggerheads Country Park and in advance of the forthcoming weather warning and Storm Goretti, the council is asking anyone who is planning a visit to take extra care.

The Highways Team and Countryside Rangers are working incredibly hard to keep roads, car parks and paths safe and look after the wildlife and landscape we all enjoy. Please treat them with kindness and respect — they’re out in all conditions to keep things running smoothly for visitors to enjoy.

Here are a few reminders for a safe and considerate visit:

⚠️ Stick to open paths and follow all safety signage.

🚧 Pay close attention to road closure signs — they’re there to protect you.

❄️ Be mindful of snowy and icy conditions which can make surfaces and paths slippery.

🧥 Wear appropriate clothing and prepare for your visit, especially in severe weather.

🚗 Please park considerately if you’re visiting by car. Avoid blocking driveways or narrowing roads for local residents and emergency services.

🐾 Keep dogs under close control.

Advice about dealing with extreme weather conditions

There’s a range of information and advice on Denbighshire County Council’s website. You’ll find out which roads we grit, where you can find your nearest salt bin as well as general advice about driving in wintry conditions and how to make your home safe in cold weather conditions. And for information and updates about the weather warnings, take a look at the Met Office’s web pages.

We want everyone to enjoy the beauty of our natural spaces — safely, responsibly, and respectfully. 💚

Thank you for doing your part! 👋
