Wondering what to do in Mold? The town is a perfect example of rural life, and Dôl Derwen is surrounded by opportunities to get into the outdoors. An 11-minute walk away from home, the Bailey Hill park provides a cosy spot to take the dog for a walk or relax on the grass in the summer, while you can find the Mold Flower Gardens a further 10 minutes into town.

Mold is on the border of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley national park, a beautiful stretch of forested mountains sprawled around the River Dee. Hike through river valleys, across cliffside trails and over mountain peaks as you explore the wild countryside of North Wales before sitting down for a cup of tea in Llangollen, Ruthin, or Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd.

Turn your attention north to find the Dee estuary itself, a large waterway harbouring the neighbouring towns of Connah’s Quay and Flint. The river is perfect for paddleboarding, waterskiing, wakeboarding and boating, with harbours at Prestatyn, Rhyl and West Kirby.

Always climb and cave safely, and never without proper experience and equipment!
