A lovely market town with pubs and shops and bakeries. Hilly routes into town but a number of good places for a stop mid ride.

A nice little stop with the pooch and I both getting an ice-cream, plenty of seating outside in a big garden right next to the waterfall

The castle passed between various owners in the first half of the 14th century, before coming under the control of the Mortimer family. Meanwhile, the walled town had proved impractical to live in, and a newer, much larger, settlement developed outside the defences. In 1400, the walled town was raided during the GlyndΕ΅r Rising, although the castle itself remained secure throughout the rebellion. During the Wars of the Roses, Denbigh was attacked by Lancastrian forces; the walled town was attacked and burnt. In the aftermath, the old town was largely abandoned by its inhabitants, the walled area becoming an extension of the castle's defences.

Denbigh Castle and town walls (/ΛdΙnbi/ DEN-bee; Welsh: Castell Dinbych a waliau tref [ΛkastΙΙ¬ ΛdΙͺnbΙ¨Ο]) were built to control the lordship of Denbigh after the Conquest of Wales by Edward I of England in 1282. The lands were granted to Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, who began to build a new walled town, colonised by immigrants from England, protected by a substantial castle and surrounded by deer parks for hunting. The work had not been completed by 1294, when the Welsh temporarily seized the castle during the Madog ap Llywelyn revolt. The defences continued to be improved, although the castle was not completely finished by the time of Henry's death in 1311.

A couple of kilometres walk from the railway station you come to the marina, and Pont y Ddraig Harbour bridge (Dragonβs Bridge). It is a small pedestrian bridge which opens for boats entering and leaving the marina. It is unusual because it has a tall central mast, and a pulley system which draws the bridge platform on either side up to it when opening. Pont y Ddraig (Dragon's Bridge) provides the final link in 15 miles (24km) of traffic-free cycling across Conwy and Denbighshire.

There is a small charge to go through the hole waterfall, but you can take photos of the one that is open to the public
