Part of the old railway route through Mold has been dedicated as a public footpath by Flintshire County Council. Access is available here from Milford Street. Although passenger services to Mold ended in 1962 the stretch here continued to be used by freight trains until 1983 and the track was not lifted until 1985. The footpath was formally opened in 2010 and, as the wooden board explains, was winner of the Bovril Great Outdoors Revival rambling category.

Daniel Owen was born in Mold. He was a tailor and worked for the government, but is most famous for being the first major novelist in the Welsh language. His best known works are Y Dreflan, Rhys Lewis, Enoc Huws, and Gwen Tomos.

This Gorsedd Circle was laid out in 1922, for the proclamation ceremony heralding the National Eisteddford visiting Mold in 1923. The circle is on a levelled area of Bailey Hill's outer ditch originally built as part of its defences in the twelfth century. Gorsedd Stones (Welsh: Cerrig yr Orsedd) are groups of standing stones constructed for the National Eisteddfod of Wales. They form an integral part of the Druidic Gorsedd ceremonies of the Eisteddfod. Each stone structure is arranged in a circular formation typically consisting of twelve stone pillars, sometimes from the local area and sometimes, the stones have been brought in to represent the Welsh counties. A large, flat-topped stone, known as the Logan Stone. http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/northeastwales/hi/people_and_places/nature/newsid_8659000/8659622.stm - BBC North east Wales http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorsedd_stones - Wikipedia
