Denbighshire

A quote from 'About Denbighshire'

• Denbighshire covers an area which runs from the North Wales coastal resorts of Rhyl and Prestatyn down through the Vale of Clwyd, south as far as Corwen and the popular tourist town of Llangollen. Along the way it takes in the historic towns of Rhuddlan, Denbigh and Ruthin, each with its own castle, and the tiny cathedral city of St. Asaph.

• Denbighshire is largely a rural county with tourism and agriculture the main industries. The expanding St. Asaph Business Park, on the edge of the A55, is home to number of companies and organisations. The Welsh Development Agency has its regional headquarters there.

• The A55 Expressway gives speedy links to the Irish ferry routes at Holyhead, airports at Manchester and Liverpool, and the major UK networks. There are also direct train service from Rhyl to Cardiff (three and half hours), London (three and a quarter hours) and other major UK towns and cities.
