Abergele has some fantastic countryside for walking in. Hills include Tower Hill (Bryn Twr) at 179 metres, which as you can tell has a watchtower. Tan-y-Gopa hill is 189 metres high and has a hillfort, Castell Cawr. To the south is Moelfre Isaf 317 metres (1040 feet) which has wide ranging views including Snowdonia and the Clwydian Range. Further west, past Gwrych Castle is Cefn yr Ogof at 204 metres (669 feet) which has caves and a watchtower nearby.
