About

The Alyn Valley ward encompasses a stretch of the River Alyn's course through the county's limestone landscape. This area is characterised by agricultural land, small settlements, and pockets of woodland. The geography is defined by the river valley itself, with its slopes and floodplain shaping local land use. The ward includes communities such as Llandyrnog and Llanferres, which serve as focal points within the rural setting.

A notable aspect of the area is the presence of the Loggerheads Country Park, which lies within its boundaries. This park protects a section of the wooded Alyn Gorge, where the river has carved through the rock. The ward's environment is influenced by this underlying carboniferous limestone, which also supports traditional farming practices. The overall character remains predominantly pastoral and quiet.
