Dyserth

The two main attractions of this village lying in the foothills of the Clwydian Range, are the 60-foot cascade known as the Dyserth Waterfall, and the charming 13th century Parish Church of St Bridget with its glorious stained glass window above the altar, which has been described as the finest example of a medieval Jesse Window in North Wales.

Just to the west of the village stands Bodrhyddan Hall, the impressive 17th-century manor house of the Conwy family who have had their home here since the early 15th century. The hall houses the Charter of Rhuddlan and visitors can also see, around the fireplaces in the white drawing room, panels that came from the chapel of a Spanish Armada ship that foundered off the coast of Anglesey. For the more ghoulish, one of the rooms contains an Egyptian mummy. Other notable items include Hepplewhite chairs, suits of armour and ancient weapons, and a family portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds. Bodrhyddan Gardens are also appealing, the main feature being a box-edged Victorian parterre designed by William Andrews Nesfield, father of the famous William Eden Nesfield, who remodelled the house in 1875. William E had a very varied life, being a soldier and a watercolour painter before taking up garden design when he was over 40. He worked on well over 200 estates, among the most notable being the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. A much older part of the garden at Bodrhyddan is centred around a well house (bearing the inscription ‘Inigo Jones 1612’) containing a spring, St Mary’s Well, that may once have had pagan significance.
