Start: Start at Ffynnon Tegla car park near the church in the village of Llandegla GR 195525. From the car park go down the lane to the right of the church and climb over the stile at the side of the gate.
Llandegla is well known as an historical place of rest for travellers. The older part of the village is close to St Tegla's well. People flocked to the well believing it would cure them of epilepsy.
Cattle were driven from North Wales along the main roads running through the village from the 13th century until the arrival of the railway.
In an early version of the hotel and guest house rating system used today, drovers could recognise a "good overnight stop" by the number of pine trees planted outside a farm or inn.
The nearby farm Saith Daran "the seven pine trees" was obviously highly regarded for its comfort and the quality of its overnight pasture!

Points of interest: The landscape is streaked with low limestone ridges. Professor Boyd Dawkins, a friend of Charles Darwin, excavated crevice caves in the mid 1800s and discovered the burial sites of people who lived and farmed the area 4500 years ago.
