Llanferres N&V Admin — Sat, 20 Nov 2010 19:07:57 +0000

On the evening of the 5th December 2010 the Heather & Hillforts and Habitats & Hillforts projects have a bit of a hillfort get together. The idea is to station groups of hardy and keen volunteers on the top of many of the hillforts littering the locality and across Cheshire.

At a given time launch a flair and wave around torches to test if back in their day residents could look across the sprawling forested plain of Cheshire and at night see the glows of each others fire in what was then pure darkness. Wit hFoel Fenlli one of the most significant hillforts of the region sat directly above the village this will be a great chance to volunteer on what will be an interesting night
