What to see

Walking
Woodland, grassland and riverside trails are way marked to encourage visitors to explore the diversity of the Gwersyllt and Llay sides of the park. Some paths are wide and tarmacked and offer excellent access for wheelchairs and pushchairs, although there is one steep gradient. Wooden posts show the selection of coloured footprint walks which suit most people’s abilities.

Pedal Power
Based in the park is the Pedal Power Project managed by Groundwork North Wales, which aims to make cycling accessible to children and adults with a variety of disabilities. Pedal Power uses a range of bikes around a one mile circuit at Alyn Waters Country Park.

Trim Trail
The Gwersyllt side of the park has a specially designed Trim Trail which contains a selection of different simple exercise equipment. The equipment is designed to improve your strength, stamina, balance and co-ordination. The Trim Trail is fun and easy to use. The balance and co-ordination equipment is especially suitable for the young, while the parallel bars and sit up benches will really tone up the grown-ups.

Biodiversity
The variety of grassland and woodland together with the river offer a range of habitats. The sand and gravel quarrying scraped away the rich topsoil but the poor subsoil has allowed the development of a rich meadow habitat, full of vetches, grasses, ox eye daisy and yellow rattle. In the summer, the common spotted orchid is an impressive sight as well as bee orchids and helleborines, some of which are quite rare.
