thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The week will start on Saturday 25 April at 10.30am at the Blue Bell Inn, with
a walk across the common led by archaeologist Fiona Gale and Troedio Clwyd,
which will be looking at the remains of lead mining.
On Saturday evening, at 7pm, Halkyn Village Hall will be the venue of Halkyn
Heritage film night, an evening showcasing the new Halkyn Heritage films.
On Sunday 26 April, a family walk exploring Halkyn Mountain will start out at
2pm from the former school at Rhes-y-cae.
An event is taking place every day throughout the week, and ends on Friday 1
May with an archaeology taster session from 2pm to 4pm at the former school in
Rhes-y-cae. Have a go at archaeological recording with Clwyd and Powys
