These web pages hope to tempt the visitor to explore Denbighshire by highlighting some of the listed medieval sites and buildings which survive throughout the County. All the places mentioned have their origins prior to 1600 but what you see today is the result of several centuries of use.
These sites are linked via a car trail. To view please open the route map. Time spent in Denbighshire will reward you with a flavour of its fascinating history. Although much of interest is included, this website does not claim to cover all there is to see and do in the region. Local bookshops, libraries and Tourist Information Centres have more detailed information.
Cycling
There are way-marked scenic routes for cycling in the county and a leaflet is available from the Tourist Information Centres.
Walking
There are leaflets detailing way-marked routes, including both local as well as longer distance walks such as Offa’s Dyke Path, available from the Tourist Information Centres.
Countryside Code
Whichever way you choose to enjoy Medieval Denbighshire please remember the Countryside Code.
Also remember that churches are places of worship, meditation and quiet, and much valued by their communities: please respect this heritage and note that, as churches do not charge an entry fee, all donations towards upkeep are most welcome.
