Ruthin is home to some of Wales’ best examples of black-and-white, half-timbered architecture, such as Nantclwyd House in Castle Street, a beautiful townhouse built in 1435 by a local merchant. St Peter’s Church, the Old County Gaol and Pendref Chapel are worth tracking down. Take a wander in Cae Ddol, a lovely park with river and lakeside walks and a brilliant children’s play area.

Ruthin holiday cottages are ideally located for exploring Denbighshire, where green rolling hills are scattered with stately homes and castles. The county also has a spectacular coast with secret rocky coves, sweeping sandy bays and lovely resorts such as Prestatyn and Rhyl. Snowdonia National Park is just 25 miles to the west, while the English border is a scenic 40-minute drive eastward.
