Moel Famau, Border of Denbighshire and Flintshire, Wales
Moel Famau and Jubilee Tower -
Elevation 555 m (1818ft)
Moel Famau is a hill and country park in Wales. Its peak straddles the border
between the counties of Denbighshire and Flintshire.
The park is an important part of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty. The heather provides food and shelter for wildlife, such as Red Grouse,
European Stonechat and Eurasian Curlew.
The Jubilee Tower on the peak of Moel Famau was a tower built to commemorate
the golden jubilee of George III in 1810. A storm in 1862 reduced the impressive
Egyptian-style monument to the base that can be seen today. The remains of the
tower are at the highest point in the park, and indeed the whole of the Clwydian
Range, at 554 m (1818 ft).
The Jubilee Tower is located at OS Grid reference SJ161626, MAP at the heart
of the Moel Famau country park.
