About

Moel Famau ward encompasses a large rural area in the eastern part of Denbighshire. It is dominated by the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its namesake hill, Moel Famau, being the highest point. The landscape consists primarily of upland heath, forestry plantations, and scattered farmland. Settlements are small and dispersed, including the villages of Llanbedr Dyffryn Clwyd and Llandyrnog.

The area is traversed by the Offa's Dyke Path National Trail, which follows the ancient earthwork along the hilltops. The distinctive Jubilee Tower, a ruined monument atop Moel Famau, is a prominent landmark visible for miles. Economic activity is largely agricultural, with some tourism related to hillwalking and the scenic driving route along the A494. The ward's character is defined by its open moorland and quiet country lanes.
