Abergele

Abergele is a community and small sized market town. The meaning of the name Abergele can be understood by 'aber' being the Welsh word for estuary, and 'Gele' the name of the river that runs through the town. Gele is a dialectal form of gelau, which means spear, presumed to be characterising the action of the river traversing the land. It has even been suggested that this river is named due to the fact that its waters sparkle brightly. The town is located on the north coast of Wales between the holiday resorts of Colwyn Bay and Rhyl, in Conwy County Borough. Its northern suburb of Pensarn lies on the Irish Sea coast and is famous for its beach, where it is claimed by some that a ghost ship has been observed. Abergele and Pensarn train stations serve both resorts. The town itself is situated on the A55 road and is known for Gwrych Castle. The town is encircled by woodland covered hillsides, which contain caves with uncommon lesser horseshoe bats. The tallest hill is Moelfre Isaf (1040 ft) to the south of the town.
