The first loop gradually climbs up along the Offa’s Dyke Path along an old lane to the woodland on top of Selattyn Hill where the Tower is located, from here amazing view can be had. Passing through old field systems and relics of farmsteads the walk meets the road back to near the carpark (2 ¼ miles).<p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 0.8em; color: #58595b; font-family: CartoGothicStd, " trebuchet="" ms",="" arial,="" helvetica,="" sans-serif;="" font-size:="" 16px;="" line-height:="" 22.4px;"="">From here the walk heads north along the Offa’s Dyke Path National Trail passing old limekilns and runs parallel to the Dyke giving good view of the surrounding countryside and Chirk Castle, after dipping down through Nanteris Wood the walk leaves the National Trail and travels along an old track to pass through Pentre Newydd. The walk heads across fields and follows quiet roads climbing as it goes to final drop down the valley side of Morlas Brook back to the car park (4 ¾ miles).
