About

Rhuddlan ward encompasses the town of Rhuddlan and its surrounding rural landscape on the North Wales coast. The area is defined by the River Clwyd, which flows through it towards the Irish Sea. The historic core is centred around a planned town layout and the substantial ruins of Rhuddlan Castle, a late 13th-century fortress built by Edward I. This castle is notable for its diamond-shaped layout and was the site of the Statute of Rhuddlan, which established English rule in Wales.

The ward includes agricultural land and the nearby hamlet of Pwllglas. A specific feature is the presence of a deep-cut, man-made channel created to allow sea-going vessels to reach the castle, a significant medieval engineering project. The area is connected by the A525 road and the nearby A55 North Wales Expressway. Economic activity includes local tourism focused on the castle, general retail in the town, and farming in the outlying areas.
