Clwyd, covering the former counties of Denbighshire and Flintshire,
is exceptionally rewarding in architecture. the medieval period has
left a fine legacy, including castles of the time of Edward I as
sophisticated as any in Europe, the monastic ruins of Basingwerk
and Valle Crucis, and the distinctive local 'double-nave' type of
Perpendicular church. Country houses range in size and ambition
from Erddig, Kinmel and Chirk Castle to a host of lesser buildings,
humbler but still of quality. Towns such as Denbigh and Ruthin,
village groups and Victorian seaside resorts all add to the pattern
of styles and materials, a pattern further enriched by relics of
the Industrial revolution and the striking diversity of vernacular
styles.
