Denbighshire is a north Welsh county of contrasts offering cultural breaks; traditional family seaside holidays and adventure activity holidays. Popular seaside towns with beaches are Rhyl and Prestatyn
Get the buckets and spades ready and head down to Rhyl for family seaside fun. Between Rhyl and Prestatyn there are seven miles of clean sandy beaches. Fun fairs, mini golf, donkey rides and the Pavilion Theatre complete the traditional flavour. For rainy days there is the SeaQuarium, the Suncentre with its daring slides and, in Prestatyn, the Nova Centre, an indoor pool and fitness complex.
Prestatyn offers cycling routes to Dyserth Waterfall, Barkby Beach and Ffrith Beach. Local walks include a Roman Bath House, a ruined miner's cottage and tunnels left behind from lead mining. On summer evenings, Ghost walks around Prestatyn offer glimpses into the darker legends of the town.
Llangollen is a small, riverside, market town in the heart of the Dee Valley, overlooked by the lonely ruins of Dinas Bran Castle. Every July, tens of thousands of people attend the Llangollen International Music Festival and the Llangollen Fringe Festival. Victorian pleasures endure in Llangollen canal boat rides and the Llangollen Steam Railway.
The surrounding Dee Valley offers outdoor activities such as white-water rafting, canoeing, abseiling, pot holing, canoeing, rocking climbing, quad biking and gorge walking. Llangollen Motor Museum or a walk to the Valle Crucis Abbey are popular local attractions.
Lots of other places to visit in Denbighshire, north Wales, such as the castles of Rhuddlan, Denbigh and Ruthin.
