For starters, this awardwinning park has its own

Excellent golf,
remarkable
surroundings
A break on the North
East Wales coast is a
great way to make the
most of the outdoors
and get a few games
in while youre at it.
The challenging 9 hole links
course at Rhyl Golf Club will
test the mettle of players of
all standards and its open
all year round. With a history
going back to Victorian times
and celebrating its 125th
anniversary in 2015,
its officially the oldest golf
club in North Wales.
www.rhylgolfclub.co.uk
Rhuddlan Golf Club is a
championship parkland course
with awesome views of the
Clwydian Range and 18 holes
to challenge even the most
accomplished player. The Club
regularly hosts county and
national championship events,
including the Welsh Ping
Mixed Foursomes Finals
in 2015.

Gronant Dunes
Gronant Dunes lies between
Prestatyn and Talacre beaches
and is the largest area of
unspoiled sand dunes on the
North Wales coast.
A Local Nature Reserve, a Site of
Special Scientific Interest and a
Special Area of Conservation all in
one, this protected coastal habitat
is home to rare plant and animal
species including sea holly, brown
hares, skylarks and the elusive sand
lizard. Gronant is probably best
known as the home of Britains
largest and Wales only colony
of little tern, which can be seen
from a viewing platform just off
the Wales Coast Path.
walk about
Prestatyn
Whether youre arriving on foot
or just starting your journey, the
walking here is seriously good
whichever way you approach it.
The North Wales Path begins its
60 mile journey west to Bangor
here, and Offas Dyke Path
National Trail begins its 177 mile
journey to Chepstow here too. Take the easy
Coastal Path, or slightly more tricky Offas
Dyke Path National Trail, the start (or end)
of which is marked with exceptional views
across the coast and Irish Sea and towards
Snowdonia at Gwaenysgor viewpoint.

Dyserth
Dyserth Waterfall plummets

Natural Beauty.
Pack a picnic and enjoy the scenery,
or join one of many walks around
the village. Look out for rare violets
and orchids, buzzards and the odd
peregrine falcon too. Evidence of the
rich history of Dyserth village ranges
from the Iron Age to the Industrial
Revolution; and the village even gets
a mention in the Domesday Book.

Rhuddlan
The ancient town of Rhuddlan on the banks of the River Clwyd is
probably best known for the ruins of its mighty medieval fortress.
The castle was built by English King Edward I in 1282 to subjugate the locals,
and the same qualities that made Rhuddlan such an attractive location for
Edwards building project still stand today. Though these days visitors are
welcome to explore our town and countryside and make it their own.
11
Explore
our coastal
heritage...
St Marys Church,
Rhuddlan
St Marys Church sits on the banks of
the River Clwyd just a few hundred
yards from Rhuddlan Castle.
Original parts of the church date back
to the 14th Century with a bit of a
makeover in the 19th century by
renowned architect Sir George Gilbert
Scott. Look out for the Bodrhyddan
mausoleum and a 17th-century sundial.
Twthill Motte
and Bailey Castle,
Rhuddlan
Youd be forgiven for thinking that the
big earthen mound next to Rhuddlan
Castle is, well, a big earthen mound.
In fact, its the site of not one, but two
much earlier castles. Built in 1073 by
Robert of Rhuddlan at the behest of
William the Conqueror, Twthill Motte
and Bailey Castle was itself built on the
site of the royal palace of native Welsh
prince Gruffydd ap Llywelyn.
Roman Bath
House,
Prestatyn
Tucked away
down a cul-de-sac
in a residential area of
Prestatyn youll find the ruins
of a Roman civilian bathhouse
dating from around AD 120.
The foundations are remarkably intact,
so you can see where our Latin ancestors
kicked back and enjoyed a spa day,
Roman-style.
Point of Ayr
Lighthouse
Built in 1776 at the northernmost
tip of mainland Wales, The Point
of Ayr Lighthouse is the oldest
lighthouse in Wales.
Unoccupied since Victorian times
until recently. The Lighthouse is
now home to a 7ft high stainless
steel keeper, the work of sculptor
Angela Smith.
Bodrhyddan Hall
Home to Lord Langfords family for
over 500 years, this Grade I listed
country house contains a treasure
trove of riches including armoury,
artworks, furniture, and wait for it
a 3,000 year old mummy.
The treasures continue outside with
a woodland garden, lovely picnic
area and a formal box-edged parterre
designed by architect William Eden
Nesfield who remodelled much of
the house itself in the 19th century.
Rhyl Museum
This town centre museum tells
Rhyls unique story.
Fascinating exhibits span the centuries
and include a Roman tile with markings
of the 20th Legion; a model of Rhyls
long-departed pier from 1880; a WWII
Home Guard dummy practice rifle; and a
Miss Rhyl sash from 1939s contest, the
last one before the outbreak of WWII.
Bodelwyddan Castle
Set in 260 acres of parkland,
Bodelwyddan Castle is an
historic house and accredited
museum, with formal gardens and
woodland, adventure playground
and garden maze.
Inside, this partner of the National
Portrait Gallery showcases many
remarkable historic artworks displayed
in a stunning authentic period setting.

Big open spaces, clean fresh air, miles of tracks and trails and plenty of off-roading
make the Clwydian Range one of Britains best places to explore on foot.
This string of hills runs south from Prestatyn to the Nant y Garth pass; and from the Vale of Clwyd eastwards to the
Dee Estuary, covering no fewer than 390 square kilometres with its wonderful mix of open heather moorland, craggy
limestone, woodland walks and lush green farmland. Commanding magnificent views in every direction and stunning
in its own right, you wont be surprised to hear that together the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley are designated as
an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, one of only five in the whole of Wales.

Ceiriog Valley
If you really want to get away
from it all, the Ceiriog Valley is
the place to be.
A little bit of heaven on Earth is
how Lloyd George described it and
its easy to see why. Probably Wales
best kept secret, this quiet valley
is just a few miles from the English
border and enjoys mile after mile
of wonderful scenery, best enjoyed
on a bike, on a pony or on foot. Try
the Ceiriog Valley Walk from Chirk
to Llanarmon where you can hop
on a bus if you need a rest. Have a
go at trout and sea trout fishing on
the River Ceiriog. Or enjoy the wide

How do you like your castles?
Big, small, falling down?
Our castles come in all states and sizes, from a dilapidated
Welsh ruin on a hill, to the only one of Edward Is fortresses
still occupied today. Many of Europes finest surviving
medieval forts are right here, including Rhuddlan Castle,
13th century military architecture at its most deadly.
Plus a few ruins, like those of Castell Dinas Brn, the
reputed last resting place of the holy grail. For a real
break with history why not spend the night in a castle?
Ruthin Castle is now a luxury hotel and spa, where
anyone with a feel for history will feel right at home.

Ewloe Castle
Surrounded by 160 acre woodland
at Wepre Park near Chester, this
Welsh castle was built by Llywelyn
ap Gruffudd (the Last) after 1257.
Though in ruins since the end of the
13th century, theres still enough of it
left to allow visitors to climb to the
top of one of the towers.
Caergwrle Castle
Caergwrle Castle near Wrexham
was built 1277 by one-time
supporter of Edward I, Dafydd
ap Gruffydd, who sparked the
English invasion of Wales when
he changed his allegiance.
Remodelled by Edward, the castle
made a lovely gift for his wife,
Eleanor of Castile. Today, a stunning
view of Flintshire is the prize for the
short hike to the castle.
