Ruthin

Less than 2 miles away is the historic town of Ruthin. Ruthin has a number of events throughout the year from Nadolig Ruthin (Christmas Ruthin) to local produce markets at the gaol. The town has retained a good range of independent shops and has enough variety of cafes and restaurants to cater for all tastes.
