Rhewl is a village just off the A525 Ruthin to Denbigh road, situated west of the Clwydian Range and once an important settlement on a Drovers trail. It’s well worth a visit, especially for the stunning walk along Lady Bagot’s Drive. It was here, in 1118, that the Battle of Maes Maen Cymro was fought, between Hywel ap Ithel, with the aid of 400 warriors of  Maredudd ap Bleddyn, and the sons of Owain ap Edwin, who were lords of the cantref of Dyffryn Clwyd. And Rhewl was also the scene of a brutal, short and sharp engagement between Royalist forces out of Denbigh and outlying Parliamentarians laying siege to nearby Ruthin.

A beautiful little village within which still waters run very deep indeed.
