At 2,070 feet (630 m), Moel Fferna is the highest point in the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. However, it belongs to the wider Berwyn Range, which reaches its apex on Cadair Berwyn to the southwest. It's possible to link both on a long walk, along with other summits in the range.

The Dee Valley is a good base for hikes to Moel Fferna, with plenty of accommodation options and places to eat and drink.

Moel Fferna is a mountain in Denbighshire, Wales and forms part of the Berwyn range. It is the most northern outpost of the range. The summit is covered in deep heather and has a shelter cairn. A trig point used to mark the summit, but has since been destroyed. To the south is Pen Bwlch Llandrillo, followed by Cadair Bronwen. It is a UK listed Nuttall.
