Abergele
Abergele is a community and modest market town. The symbolism of the name Abergele can be appreciated by 'aber' being the Welsh word which means estuary, and 'Gele' the name of the river which goes through the town. Gele is a colloquial form of gelau, which means spear, believed to be characterising the action of the river traversing the land. It has even been suggested that this river is named because its waters shimmer brilliantly. The town is positioned on the north coast of Wales between the holiday resorts of Colwyn Bay and Rhyl, in Conwy County Borough. Its northern residential area of Pensarn lies on the Irish Sea coast and is famous for its beach, where it is insisted by some that a ghost ship has been sighted. Abergele and Pensarn railway stations serve both resorts. The town itself lies on the A55 road and is known for Gwrych Castle. The town is encircled by woodland covered hillsides, which feature caverns with unusual lesser horseshoe bats. The highest hill is Moelfre Isaf (1040 feet) to the south of the town. There are additionally magnificent views from Cefn-yr-Ogof, which measures 669 ft, Tower Hill, which is 587 feet, and Castell Cawr (known locally as Tan-y-Gopa) which is 189 metres (620 feet). Castell Cawr is an Iron Age hillfort, and one of several in the location. Dinorben hillfort to the east of town was destroyed in the 1980s. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of roughly 10577 people. Within this population, around 29 percent possess a substantial understanding of Welsh.
