Introduction by Greg Stevenson
Nestled snugly in the Vale of Clwyd with the mountains of Snowdonia protecting its western flanks and the Clwydian Range to its east, Denbigh is one of the most historic towns in North Wales.
The name Dinbych means a ‘small, fortified, place’…and despite expansion over the centuries this still isn’t a large town today. Small it may be, but this medieval market town is perfectly formed, and home to one of the highest concentrations of Listed buildings in Wales. Denbigh is perfect for understanding its history through its buildings.
"I was born and brought up in the Cynon Valley but after graduating from drama college I went to work for the BBC in Bangor in 1962 and I’ve lived in North Wales ever since."
