Denbighshire County Council and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscapes are urging summer visitors to park responsibly while enjoying countryside attractions.

As the summer holidays commence, preparations are in place to manage increased traffic in the area, including Llangollen's Horseshoe Falls, Moel Famau and Loggerheads Country Park.

Extra countryside rangers will be present to provide support and information for travellers.

Civil enforcement officers will monitor locations, especially during peak busy times.

Visitors venturing into the Llangollen area on Saturdays can now use the Dee Valley Picturesque Bus.

Operating every Saturday until August 30, it links Llangollen and the neighbouring villages to key attractions such as Horseshoe Falls, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Wenffrwd Nature Reserve, Valle Crucis Abbey, Plas Newydd Historic House and the Horseshoe Pass.

This service offers people a chance to visit and explore these attractions without the hassle of finding parking spaces constantly.

The bus includes a stop at Llangollen Pavilion where ample car parking space is available for the day.

Measures have been put in place at Moel Famau to ease congestion with the introduction of double yellow lines, additional parking spaces and roadside parking provisions to improve the visitor flow.

Visitors are also reminded to respect the countryside by parking sensibly, avoiding littering, and sticking to permitted bike routes.

If the weather is nice, the public is urged to refrain from lighting BBQs, camping stoves, or campfires in moorland areas due to fire hazard risks.

Councilor Alan James, Denbighshire cabinet lead member for Local Development and Planning, urged visitors to cooperate, saying: "We want people to enjoy the great outdoor attractions we have to offer but also remind them that parking restrictions are important for both road safety and ensuring there is a fair turnover of parking spaces.

"Anyone not complying with parking restrictions risk receiving a Penalty Charge Notice from civil enforcement officers.

"Our rangers are working every weekend to provide advice and guidance to visitors coming to the site and I would ask that the public also respect the role they are there to carry out.

"Please plan your day in advance, try to use facilities such as the Dee Valley bus to travel on which will save parking spaces and make sure you have other options planned for visiting and parking if you cannot stop at your first choice of venue as our fantastic area has plenty of attractions to visit."
