* The car park at Horseshoe Falls was at capacity last Saturday.
Denbighshire Countryside Service is asking visitors
to plan their journey this weekend and have alternative plans if they find car
parks are full.
Last weekend was reported to be extremely busy
across all countryside sites across the county as visitors took advantage of
the lifting of restrictions.
Horseshoe Falls car park, which has a capacity for 45
vehicles, was closed by midday on Saturday and 103 vehicles were counted
between Trevor Woods and Panorama Cottages.
Significant number of visitors were
attracted to the Horseshoe Pass and parked on the informal parking area
opposite the cafe on the minor lane leading towards Moel y Faen Quarry and on the A542.
Car parks at Moel Famau and Loggerheads Country Park were full by the afternoon on both days.
Vehicles were also reported parked on verges between the Moel Famau and forest car parks and barriers were lifted at Coed Moel Famau to try and reduce road side parking.
Councillor Tony Thomas, Cabinet Lead Member for
Housing and Communities, said: “We expected last weekend to be busy and
visitors took advantage of the lifting of restrictions to visit countryside
sites across the county.
“We are pleased to be welcoming visitors back to
our scenic areas – it’s been a long wait. People should plan their
journey whenever possible and consider visiting at less busy times of the
day. They should also have a Plan B if they find car parks full.
“Last weekend, we saw some examples of vehicles
parked on narrow country roads and we urge people to park responsibly and make
sure they allow space for passing vehicles and for any emergency services."
