Loggerheads Country Park has been officially recognised as one of the best parks in the country by being awarded Green Flag status for the third year in a row.
Green Flag is a sign to visitors that the park is well-maintained and well-managed and with excellent facilities.
Loggerheads Country Park is managed as part of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty by Denbighshire County Council, with support from Flintshire County Council.
Vanessa Warrington – Visitor Services Officer said: “We are delighted to have achieved this award again this year. We have worked hard to improve facilities here over the last 12 months, developing a series of new and exciting interpretation for the park , a sculpture trail and new gateway features. “
The Green Flag award scheme began in 1996 to recognise and reward the best green spaces in the country. It is a way of encouraging others to achieve the same high environmental standards, creating a benchmark of excellence in recreational green areas.
David Shiel – Senior Countryside Officer for the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty said, “ Loggerheads is a very special place not only for the thousands of visitors who enjoy coming here every year, but also as one of the most important conservation sites in Europe so it is important that we get it right. It is a great compliment to get this award.
“ It is particularly pleasing that this award recognises the role played by volunteers in helping to manage the park. Last year volunteers carried out over 2000 hours practical conservation work which is a huge contribution to the park. “
