Get On Your Bike
The new cycle path from Rhuddlan to Rhyl is a must for the summer holidays. The path has been built along the flood embankment on the east side of the River Clwyd as it meanders down through fields to the sea. The path is wide, smooth and safe and therefore an ideal path for children of all ages. In addition it has lovely views across the river with plenty of bird life to watch. Have a picnic on the edge of the embankment watching the swans and Canadian geese, or cycle to Rhyl for a well-earned ice cream.
You can reach the path by cycling down from St Asaph, or of course in Rhuddlan itself. Access to the path is gained by turning down the east bank of the river just after the river bridge in Rhuddlan; follow the road below the church, bear to the left and you’re on the path alongside the river. Enjoy! |
Youth Mosaic Project
The Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded a grant of £24,000 to Denbighshire Heritage Service for the Merseyside Connections mosaic project.
The project, which compliments Liverpool Capital of Culture 2008 - will involve young people in Denbighshire creating a mosaic trail based on the county’s connections with Merseyside. Subjects covered will include the Resurgam submarine, H.M. Stanley, Vale of Clwyd evacuees and many, many more. The young people involved in the project will learn new lifelong skills and discover more about the richness of their county. They will also have the opportunity to visit Merseyside to understand and be inspired by the stories of the Welsh community who passed through the city. The visit will be facilitated by National Museums of Liverpool and the Liverpool Welsh Society.
Mosaic artist, Tricia Jones, has been engaged to run workshops and work with members of Denbighshire Youth Service to engage with young people to formulate their ideas and suggest the final locations for the mosaics.
The completed mosaic trail will lead from Rhyl to Llangollen with the initial, outlying mosaic being located on the docks in Liverpool and created by children from the ‘Welsh’ streets of Liverpool. It will reflect the voyage of the Mimosa, a ship in which many Welsh people sailed to Patagonia.
