Denbighshire Travel Guide

Rhyl is a busy, seaside resort on the northeast coast of Wales. In Victorian times it was known for its elegance and its popularity boomed after the Second World War. With improved road and rail links, Rhyl became a destination of choice for city-dwellers from nearby Liverpool and Manchester.

What the town of Llangollen lacks in size, it certainly makes up for in enthusiasm. Once a centre for sheep farming and weaving, nature and wildlife still play a big part in this small Welsh town’s heritage. Llangollen’s solitary setting means it has retained much of its early magic, which is why it is now a popular spot for nature and history lovers alike.

Sunny Prestatyn is the archetypal North Wales seaside resort. It sprang into national consciousness in the 19th century when the railways brought its fresh, sea air and restorative sea waters into the reach of holidaymakers from the north of England. Today the resort continues to offer amusements, beaches, ice cream and family fun but it is also working hard to reinvent itself as a stopping off point for walkers exploring the region.

Ruthin in the heart of North Wales is a delightfully small market town that is packed full of history. The town centre is situated on a hill overlooking the beautiful Vale of Clwyd and boasts dozens of listed buildings dating back to Ruthin's medieval origins.
