| With Snowdonia, golden sandy
beaches, exciting action packed promenades, excellent shopping,
varied dining and brilliant entertainment, the seaside towns
of Rhyl and Prestatyn enrich your holiday experience here
at The Lyons Robin Hood. Surrounding inland villages too are
a delight to explore both for their historic heritage as well
as their warm friendly people.
The tiny city of St. Asaph is nearby and is home to the smallest
cathedral in Britain. It lies between Denbigh and Rhyl. It
is set in the idyllic Denbighshire countryside, on the banks
of the River Elwy. Since AD560, St. Asaph has been an important
ecclesiastical centre. A community was founded here by the
Scottish saint Kentigern, who left his disciple Asaph in charge
when he returned to Scotland. Today however, St. Asaph is
quite simply, a wonderful place to discover.
Surrounded by the beauty of the Welsh countryside, this area offers peaceful mountain and moor land walks along with a full range of coastal attractions and activities. Whatever your holiday passions, walking should be top of the list when visiting this area. The rewards are exceptional with flora, fauna and wildlife in abundance. The climate too can be mild and the walks all the more pleasant as a result.
During the summer months, mallard can be seen on the rivers
with their flotilla of young ducklings and heron too. Overhead
there are birds of prey to observe, including the sparrow
hawk and impressive buzzard which always keep a keen eye on
the resident rabbit population and other small mammals. Coots,
Moorhen, and Grey Wagtails also make the riverside their home.
If your love is fishing, you will be delighted to know that
this area is home to some of the best fishing on two of the
major game fishing rivers in North Wales, the Rivers Clwyd
and Elwy, as well as a small still water known as Crydy Gwynt,
together with double bank fishing on the River Aled.The Lyons
Robin Hood is packed full of exciting things to see and do,
the people couldn’t be more welcoming, the local towns
and villages are a pleasure and an experience and the surrounding
natural beauty simply sells itself. This is truly the perfect
spot for all the family.
