The Leete path is a footpath between Loggerheads and Cilcain and it also makes up part of the Clwydian Way. The leete here was originally a 2 metres wide and 1.5metre deep water channel which was built to divert water from the river at Loggerheads in order to service the nearby water mills year-round. The River Alyn usually disappears during part of the year due to swallow holes in the limestone river bed. The footpath rises slowly above the river, being at the same height as the river at Loggerheads, to being several metres above it where this photograph was taken (and even more so nearer Cilcain).
