A 30-WEEK scheme to revamp one of the busiest visitor sites in northeast Wales is to get under way this month. Main buildings at Loggerheads Country Park are being upgraded to cope with rising visitor numbers.

The project will include refurbishing the visitor centre and cafe, with an enhanced seating area, as well as improving the toilets and carrying out external landscaping. Traditional porches will be installed over the shop entrance and a large sail canopy will be located near the park entrance to act as a meeting point for groups.

Denbighshire Council said the project complements improvements also planned at nearby Moel Famau. A spokesperson said: "The main aim of these improvements is to help manage the challenges linked to a growing number of visitors - currently exceeding 200,000 visitors per year - and meet their increasing expectations."
