Liberty Hall sounds like it should be in New York, but it's actually a ruined hunting lodge in a very remote spot high on the Berwyn. I've been meaning to try a loop over to Liberty Hall for a while, and this was an excellent little outing. I have a few circuits from Corwen that work well, so this adds to the list. From town, a steep but excellent path leads to Pen y Pigyn, a great viewpoint over Corwen and the Dee valley. Above, more conifer forest eventually gives way to open moorland, skylarks and sunshine. Less than 30 minutes from Corwen, I reached Liberty Hall, a complete ruin along the lines of Gwylfa Hiraethog, and a kind of Berwyn summit in its own right. The sun was out after some very showery weather and the views west were superb. A great descent led back to the trees on the south side, then down to the familiar North Berwyn Way, which I've done a few times in both directions. A fast descent to Cynwyd, then along the banks of the Dee in beautiful weather. Finished up Gypsy Lane and Ffordd Ty Cerrig for a 10m+ circuit, 90 minutes.
