My first port of call Mold Market.
The stall where I purchased my Snowdrops.
Lloyds Bank building.
I think this used to be the Scope charity shop.
The Llys-yr-Efail sign.
Bethesda Chapel.
The two plaques at Bethesda Chapel.
The Daniel Owen Statue.
St. Mary's Church.
Is this one of the limestone pillars mentioned on the trail leaflet?
Sheep sheltering from the wind, but still in the Sun.
A path that I need to explore sometime in the future.
Part of the old track heading towards the town centre.
The Afon Alun west of the bridge.
The Afon Alun flood plain.
The Afon Alun looking east of the bridge.
The Old Court House.
The Old Court House plaque.
The Millennium Clock with granite stones around the base.
The sculpture at the Bus Station.
My last port of call for pint of Lees bitter.
Distance: 3.0 miles. Climb: 200'. Time: 1 hour 45 minutes.
Overall walk average: 1.8 m.p.h.
Temperature: 9 Celsius. Feel like 5 Celsius, quite warm in the Sun and out of the wind.
BWF: 4 Moderate breeze.
The first port of call this morning was Mold Market to buy some Snowdrop bulbs.
Next was to call in at The Cold Cape for breakfast.
My walk today was The Rigs Trail Around Mold. I was able to find most of the things on the trail, despite shops and banks no longer existing.
Lloyds bank was the first, made from local sandstone. The next was supposed to be The Scope charity shop, but is now a betting shop. Here the base of the shop is made from igneous larvikite. Next came the Llys-yr-Efail sign made from a fast cooling igneous rock. Bethesda Chapel came next. The top plaque is made of marble on slate, whereas the bottom one is made from marble on polished basalt. Next came the Daniel Owen memorial is made from limestone and sandstone. St
Mary's church came next, like Lloyds bank it was made from sandstone.
The War Memorial, starts with a quartz stone at the bottom of the steps, while the memorial itself is made of marble.
I finished the walk by going down the road to the bridge over the Afon Alun and heading up Chester Street to the bus station.
An enjoyable and interesting walk, despite getting caught in a few showers.
