About Foel Fenlli
Foel Fenlli, also called Moel Fenlli, is a hill in Denbighshire, North Wales; its summit, at 511 metres, makes it the second-highest peak of the Clwydian Range. The remains of a hillfort covering roughly 25 acres are found on the peak.
A popular ascent leads south from the car park at Bwlch Penbarras, which is also a favoured starting point for climbing Moel Famau to the north, while the Offa's Dyke Path runs around the hill's western slopes.
