Denbighshire stretches from the popular coastal resorts of Rhyl and Prestatyn in the north, down through the Vale of Clwyd, over the panoramic Horseshoe Pass into the picturesque Dee Valley to the busy 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.
