Overview

Ruthin is a old Market Town in Denbighshire, and its castle sits up on a hill. We park the coach next to the Ruthin Craft Centre. Walk along the banks of the river Clwyd, or up into the surrounding hills. Or come along and explore at your own pace. Whatever you do today you can be sure of a warm welcome at the many pubs and cafes on your return.
