Denbighshire, Historic county in northern Wales.
Denbighshire extends from the Irish Sea coast through the Vale of Clwyd to the Berwyn mountains, featuring the Clwydian Range and Clocaenog Forest.
The Laws in Wales Acts of 1535 established Denbighshire as a county, incorporating several local lordships into a single administrative territory.
The Vale of Clwyd contains multiple medieval structures, including Valle Crucis Abbey near Llangollen and castles at Denbigh and Ruthin.
The North Wales Coast Line connects the region with major transport links between Crewe and Holyhead, while the A55 dual carriageway crosses the northern section.
Archaeological discoveries at the Bontnewydd Palaeolithic site revealed Neanderthal remains and tools dating back 225,000 years.
