Denbigh
A medieval walled town at the heart of the Vale of Clwyd, crowned by its own hilltop castle and the ghost of a Tudor cathedral. Denbigh makes a quiet, well-priced base for the whole Clwydian Range — Moel Famau, the hillfort chain and the Offa's Dyke Path ridge are all on the doorstep, with Rhuddlan and the coast twenty minutes north.
Staying over?
Denbigh puts you in the shadow of its imposing hilltop castle — a characterful base for the Vale of Clwyd.
