Rhyl

Once little more than a couple of fishermen’s cottages until its development as a seaside resort from 1833, Rhyl used to be the destination for many workers and their families from the industrial towns and cities of Wales, the Midlands and the northwest of England. Though the heyday of this once elegant resort has long since passed, Rhyl still has a lot to offer the holiday maker.

As well as the full range of amusement arcades and seaside attractions, Rhyl is home to two large and exciting complexes: the Sun Centre, one of the first all-weather leisure attractions in the country, with indoor surfing and daredevil water slides and flumes; and SeaQuarium, where visitors can enjoy a seabed stroll surrounded by sharks, rays and other ocean creatures.

Nerys Hughes, the actress from the TV series The Liver Birds and District Nurse, was born in Rhyl, and Carol Voderman, though born in Bedford, attended school in the town when her family moved to North Wales.

To the southwest of the town lies the mouth of the River Clwyd, which is crossed by Foryd Bridge, and to the south lies Rhuddlan Marsh where, in AD795, Caradoc was defeated by Offa of Mercia.
