An Outstanding Week in September!

September has always been an outstanding month in our countryside, with harvests being brought safely home, trees and meadows taking on their autumnal colours, skies offering a full palette of hues, musky bonfires lingering in the evening air and a welcoming calmness for visitors. September this year, however, promises to be even more outstanding! 

The AONB Family has worked together to organise a week (and a bit) long programme of events to help people enjoy and be inspired by Britain’s Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs). Starting on Saturday 15th September and continuing through to Sunday 23rd September, the events can be found on http://www.landscapesforlifeevents.org.uk/.

Celebrating Outstanding Week the Clwydian Range & Dee Valley AONB are leading three walks that will cover the entirety of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct & canal World Heritage Site. The whole 11 miles of its length will be covered over three days.  All walks will go out and return along the canal footpath which is flat and accessible to all.  If you complete all three walks you will travel approx. 22 miles! Alternatively some of the walks are accessible, to at least a part return by public transport.  The walks will be led by the AONB Officer and supported by the Friends of the Clwydian Range & Dee Valley (http://www.friends.cymru/)
