Corwen is to be found in North East Wales resting at the foot of the Berwyn Mountains at the western end of the Dee Valley. It is a market town that thrived during the Victorian period. Having said that the Church of St Mael and St Sulien in the centre of the town is thought to date back to medieval times, the churchyard shape and location give rise to this theory. As mentioned though it was Victorian times that saw this town grow and today there are many Victorian buildings of special architectural and historic interest in the town centre – so much so that the town centre is a designated Conservation Area. In keeping with the industrial Revolution it was the railways that contributed to the popularity of Corwen, it was central to the road and rail access for the North and West coasts of North Wales. Today the town centre boasts a range of traditional shops for visitor and resident alike and if you are visiting then the views across the Dee Valley from the Iron Age hill fort of Caer Drewyn is worth the effort.
