Maelor Way
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Maelor Way is a key long distance footpath, running 38 kilometres from the Offa's Dyke Path National Trail at Bronygarth to the Shropshire Way, Sandstone Trail, Llangollen Canal, South Cheshire Way, and the Marches Way all at Grindley Brook near Whitchurch.
Most of the way is easy walking across pleasant meadows and through woodlands, mostly in the Welsh county borough of Wrexham, but partly in Cheshire and Shropshire. Many parts of the walk follow waterways: Grindley Brook, the Llangollen Canal, the River Dee, and the river Ceiriog in the Ceiriog Valley.
The way also passes through three towns and villages: Overton-on-Dee with its ancient yew trees, one of the Seven Wonders of Wales; Penley, where the wartime Polish Hospital once boosted the population threefold and Hanmer, situated on the peaceful mere which gave the village and its local aristocracy their name.
