We arrange events and activities to enable people to discover, enjoy and protect the heritage of this beautiful landscape.
Our events are open to all members normally free of charge, and often open to members of the public who are interested in finding out about the area. We actively use Eventbrite, and ask those who wish to attend to register so that we can ensure the correct safeguards are in place.
At present we are allocating the task of events organisation to one Trustee per month, so we can take advantage of our Trustees skills and interests…..we hope you will enjoy the varied events calendar.
Post Covid, we hope to work closely with the AONB Out and About Programme, to add the events we feel will be of interest to our members, more widely on our own Events calendar.
If you have any ideas, or would like us to consider organising something on your wish list, which reflects our aims of sharing the AONB – please contact us and we will endeavour to make it happen.

The Friends of Rhydymwyn Valley will take us on a tour of this site highlighting the beautiful flora and fauna and wildlife the site now holds.
The morning will begin at 10am with a welcome by Sue Grundy at the visitor centre then we will set off to discover the site. The tour will finish around 1pm where you are welcome to enjoy your own pack lunch outside the visitor centre on the picnic benches or inside the visitor centre.
The site covers 86 acres to the south of the village of Rhydymwyn in a U shaped valley. The western side of the site is semi-ancient deciduous woodland with an understorey of wild garlic, snowdrops, bluebells and orchids. The River Alyn flows in from the North West corner of the site and follows the western side of the valley. The site is now home to 7 reptile species, 8 species of fish, 17 species of butterfly/moth and 8 species of bat. 67 bird species have nested or been observed on the site.
