Places to see in ( Abergele - UK )
Abergele is a community and small market town, situated on the north coast of Wales between the holiday resorts of Colwyn Bay and Rhyl, in Conwy County Borough. Abergele northern suburb of Pensarn lies on the Irish Sea coast and is known for its beach, where it is claimed by some that a ghost ship has been sighted. Abergele and Pensarn railway station serves both resorts. Abergele is often overlooked due to the popularity of nearby Rhyl, Prestatyn, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno and Conwy.
The meaning of the name Abergele can be deduced by aber being the Welsh word for estuary, river mouth or confluence and 'Gele' the name of the river which flows through the town. Gele is a dialectal form of gelau, which means spear, describing the action of the river cutting through the land. It has also been suggested this river is named because its waters flash brightly.
The town itself lies on the A55 road and is known for Gwrych Castle. The town is surrounded by woodland covered hillsides, which contain caves with rare lesser horseshoe bat. The highest hill is Moelfre Isaf (1040 ft) to the south of the town. There are also outstanding views from Cefn-yr-Ogof (669 ft), Tower Hill (587 ft) and Castell Cawr (known locally as Tan-y-Gopa) which is 189 metres (620 feet). Castell Cawr is an Iron age hillfort, one of several in the area. Dinorben hillfort to the east of town was destroyed in the 1980s.
Abergele (including Pensarn) has a population of around 10,000 and is part of the Abergele/Rhyl/Prestatyn urban area with a population of 64,000. Approximately 29% of Abergele has a significant knowledge of Welsh. The town also has satellite villages such as Saint George, Betws yn Rhos, Rhyd-y-foel, Belgrano, Llanddulas and Llanfair Talhaearn.
Abergele was the site of an important clas (Celtic monastery) and remained settled into the 13th century. A Prince Jonathan of Abergeleu is listed by the B text of the Annals of Wales as dying during the 9th century reign of Rhodri the Great. Gwrych Castle was built between 1819-25 at the behest of Lloyd Hesketh Bamford-Hesketh. From 1894 until 1946 it was the residence of the Dundonald family.
A sanatorium was built just outside Abergele in 1910. In 1914 this was acquired by Manchester City Council. A children's sanatorium was built on the same site. The sanatorium was taken over by the newly formed NHS in 1948 and was closed later, when the introduction of antibiotics made the building redundant.

Colwyn Bay Prom Day Xtra 2013 Aerial Video
Colwyn Bay Prom Day Xtra will stretch over 2 miles of beach and promenade making it our biggest event yet. The fun starts at the Old Colwyn slip road to the A55, and stretches the entire prom right up to The Toad.
Right, let us walk you through the site to let you know what we've got planned...
If you join us from the Old Colwyn end you'll be entering our outdoor zone sponsored by the Halliwell Jones. We've filled it with top attractions to get your heart rate pumping!
Don't miss the Top Gear Experience also sponsored by Halliwell Jones. If cars are your thing look out for the free simulator to test drive a Bugati Veyron or Cayterhan around the Top Gear track.
On the approach to Porth Eirias, the brand new watersports hotspot, you'll see our family zone sponsored by the Yorkshire Building Society. This area is all about fun and we've got something for everyone.
Keep your eyes peeled when you're passing the Porth Eirias building at 10:30, 12:00, 1:30, 3:00 and 3:45 as you may spot Apex Parkours free runners performing jaw dropping jumps. Check out some of the stunts they've been perfecting for the event.
Between Porth Eirias and the pier is the much loved funfair! Often the most colourful and noisy part of our event, it's always the most popular. We've got rides for the little ones and loads for big kids too!
Just past Porth Eirias you'll see loads going on down on the beach. Cartrefi Conwy has sponsored, and thanks to the clever sea defence engineers, the tide will never come in over this new stretch of sand.
Past the pier is the shopping zone. There really is a mix of activities going on here. There's a market to browse, charities to talk to and lots of business exhibits to interact with too.
Aerial video flying with my quadcopter at the prom event in Colwyn Bay. An excellent event they really pulled out all the stops on this one.
