The village of Dyserth lies below the slopes of Hiraddug- designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty since 1985. Its wildflower spaces harbour such rarities as white violets and orchids while overhead you may see buzzards wheeling and, if you are very lucky, peregrine falcons.
The name Dyserth has evolved from the original Dissard which means "hermit's cell" and was mentioned in the Domesday book in 1086. The village is steeped in history and the remnants of previous dwellers are dotted around the landscape- from ancient pre- Roman hill fort on the top of Moel Hiraddug to the industrial heritage of quarries and lime kilns.
Visitors have been coming to Dyserth since the 18th century to enjoy the fresh air as it is situated several hundred feet above sea level. The village is renowned for its spectacular waterfall which cascades seventy feet from the River Ffyddion in the centre of the village near the church. The waterfall shop and cafe is open March to October.
This booklet contains five walks in and around Dyserth. We hope you enjoy them.
