Denbighshire – The oldest inhabited part of Wales
Denbighshire is a county located in north-east Wales and is said to be the oldest inhabited part of Wales. Remains of Neanderthals (from 225,000 years ago) have been found on sites in the area.
The county is mainly hilly moorland, with a small coastal area to the north. There is no heavy industrial activity in Denbighshire and much of the economy relies on agriculture (wheat and barley crops) and tourism, with some rearing of livestock (sheep and beef cattle) and dairy farming.
Reasons to visit Denbighshire

Walkers should enjoy the Llangollen Canal Walk, where you can walk across the River Dee alongside the canal and over the aqueduct (if you are not afraid of heights). For steam train enthusiasts you must try the Llangollen Railway, which is fun for adults and children.
Areas of historical interest will include Bodelwyddan Castle & Park. The castle dates back to the 15th century, but received extensive remodeling in the 19th century.
